i bough the motherboard Foxconn K7S741MG-6L / K7S741GXMG-6L on Dec,2007.
because i have a FX5200-TD128LF 128MB DDR video card,
so decided not to use the original video card which is
already on the motherboard, and i putted the FX5200-TD128LF 128MB DDR
in the motherboard, and added a extra fan on it. a few days later
i found out that the original video heat sink is damn hot every time
when i am using my PC, The FX5200-TD128LF 128MB DDR video card is not hot,
because of the fan that i added, this is normal, no problems with it,but howcome the original video card heat sink is damn damn hot,im not even using it,? will that burn my motherboard? is that normal or that is something wrong? thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
