    southbridge cooling?

    I'm wondering how many of you have cooled your southbridge? I know most motherboards don't come with any kind of cooling for the southbridge... I am thinking about adding a passive heatsink(zalman) on it and securing with thermal epoxy... For those who have done this, is there a better passive...

    Hey anyone on this board have a 173T or tried it in person? I just bought one off Dell.com, 15%+25$ off. Came out to 468$, which is ok not too bad. A little less than everyone but nothing insanely cheap... Anyway I am pretty convinced that this is a good LCD except for the 25ms response time...
