Title: Northbridge cooler
Post by: saintjo on February 15, 2011, 03:27:38 pm

I am looking for a better northbridge cooler for this board. The pin holes aren't in the typical spots for most of the coolers I find. Does anyone have any suggestions or replaced theirs with an aftermarket one that they know works?

BTW, I already changed out the thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5. Still hoping for lower temps.

Hi there,

it might help if you actually told us what board you are using? ???

I don't know if it is the same as the Intel boards as far as fitting goes but I know these have been used a lot on that platform.
