I recently picked up an ECS A939 motherboard

heat sink unit for the Northbridge chipset
fell off, thereby allowing the chipset to fry.

I looked at the heat sink and it was glued to
the chipset with double sided sticky tape.

Not phase change thermal tape?


He is talking about the chipset heatsink not the CPU one.
