ASUS Notebook K53U Motherboard

[Homegrown526]

I ordered a replacement motherboard, the one i had didn't have a video card on the board, other than that the board is the same. My question is does the video chip needs an heat sink? The heat sink that came with my motherboard copper rod sit on top of video chip. Is that enough or do i need to put an heat sink on the video chip? can't seem to find any made by ASUS.


Update...( Found what I was looking for)...

yes the GPU needs a heatsink; you need to source the heatsink assembly that has the GPU heatsink built in.
