I replaced the northbridge heatsink with a waterblock for my water-cooling system and now on boot I get an error message saying
"Alert! Chipset heat sink not detected. System halted!"
Does anyone know how to get around this?!

A jumper wire. Basically a small wire that will act as a jumper to complete the circuit. I ran into this same problem when I installed a Waterblock on the N.B. Freaks you out a bit huh ;D Edit: Couple notes: The NB hooks on the mobo have a Boot detection much like that of the Factory Fans. Without a jumper wire, or the original tension arm in place; the system will not boot. Solution: Jumper Wire If you look at this picture, you can see the jumper wire under the water block. |

Well, its good to know that security measures are in place so that if a fan stops working or (I have no idea how) a heatsink falls off, your computer will tell you. I move my computer a few times a year to and from school. It wouldnt be entirely out of the realm of possibility that a fan or something would get jarred loose.
