AS Pierre says there are watercooling options but if we dismiss those for now you could attach a heatsink and fan to the original heatsink because it will increase the mass of the cooling block as well as add the fan for extra cooling. The more mass the greater the cooling potential.

If we have to go watercooling...Im gonna get a different board. Which may be the best solution at this point anyway.

OK...Just so I am clear...you guys are suggesting, that I DO NOT remove the original heatsink over the northbridge chip, and instead attach another heat sink and fan with a double sided thermal tape to the original heatsink. Is that correct?

Yes I think that is the best all round solution to start with.

With all things considered from this post........this would be the best option with the Enzotech copper sinks (MOS-C10s) a close second...... this fix will hit your wallet for between 10 and 25 dollars...........water will be ten times that for a very cheap system......... I reckon the fan and cooler will be good for 7 to 10C if fitted reasonably well.
