Active Chipset Cooling Options for A8N-SLI Deluxe

Why have you decided to change out the chipset hsf? My Asus SLI came with one mounted. Have you increased your FSB to the point that the stock hsf is no longer adequeate?! What MHz is your FSB?

I have also been looking for a liquid block that would fit that stock location. Anyone know of one that accepts 1/2" tubing and won't hit/touch the main PCI-Ex card?

people want to change it because it is l-o-u-d. doesnt look like its going to last long either. seems like a tight fit to put a waterblock, havent seen anyone do it yet.
 
Insane looking HSF for a northbridge chip. It's very nice looking but the things that do it in for some are 1) Price, 40 bones, ouch 2) Height, it might be too high and block a 2nd video card
 
I just ordered a Zalman NV32J heatsink $4.25 and a Sunon KDE1204 40mm X 10mm magnetic levitation fan for $6.99 from directron this should work..

I want to replace mine, too, so I can free up a control/monitor lead on my Hardcano 13 for use on the SLI'd 6600GT's (planning on getting a pair of VF700-Cu's). How did your Zalman NV32J/Sunon KDE1204 fan setup work out?

Danger Den's got one that is exactly what you are looking for. In fact, it's custom-made for these boards. Here's some linkage with some nice pics:

They've also got a custom fit solution for dual video card cooling that looks awesome:

Please let us know how that is working for you. Pics would be nice too along with how you mounted it on the Zalman.
