This mod improve the efficiency of the standard heatsink on the mobo. It helps when trying to achieve high fsb�s and can improve stability. Note there is no chipset temperature on the K7S5A, the board has the capacity for 3 but only two are connected.

It's easy. remove it by twisting the heatsink. The clean the sink and chipset from all the leftbehinds. Now apply a thin layer of thermal paste (mostely white). Remove a little bit on the corners (the edges dont need to be glued). now put a little drop of superglue on the corners of the chipset. press the heatsink onto it, within a few seconds you wont be able to get it back off. and voila. you might consider afterwards of putting a fan ontop of the heatsink.
