Whell it is intigrated something, the comp was off... the.... uhh. i took the heatskin off and i cant figure out what it is.... i have an asus mobo and the heatskin is the second biggest on the board and the chip is in the center next to the p4 cpu, so its either audio or graphics... stil, what should i do? to hot or not?

This one isnt mine, but it is almost identical accept for the PCIe color and the heatskin colors. but on this board the thing i tuched would be the biggest heatskin you can see there.
