A good chipset cooler?
Have noticed that the green heatsink on my A7V is really hot to the touch! Any good Heatsinks with fans that can be placed on there?
Blueorb perhaps?

blue orb is supposed to be a good chipset cooler.. i bought it as a GPU cooler but couldn't fit it on my card because of some resistors in the way. i heard tennmax makes a good chipset cooler.. any heatsink and fan will do though.. i don't see northbridges get extremely hot.

It might also work to just superglue the fan from an old 486 HSF onto the chipset HS if you want an el-cheepo solution.

Thanks for the replies!
Maybe i'm worrying for nothing.. Sisoft sandra says 33C for mainboard temp eventhough i have a 80mm fan sucking in and one blowing out.
The strangest part is that even if i disable those fans i still get 33C! That tempmeter must be in a air pocket or something...

I'm gonna get me one of those blue orbs...
And i thaught my case was loud enough already. *lol*
