active northbridge coolers

[slurmsmackenzie]

anyone know of any good chipset coolers (preferable copper) that'll work with the 9x5's, the lanparty 915p especially?

i was looking at the thermalright NB cooler, but it only goes as high as the 8's for intel. checked all the retailers....no dice.... do they even make them for the new chipsets? my heatsink is feeling hot now that my cpu fan is gone and i wanted to get something no nonsense on there so i don't have to worry about it. any help is appreciated... thanks.

The Zalman ZM-NB47J should be conpatible. My XP-90 does a good enough job of keeping both the CPU and NB cool for me.

yeah.... my stock was keeping it cool... but i put a waterblock on it (thus no fan), so it's looking like i'll need to get something after market to put on my northbridge.

edit* no mounting holes on my board. it has hooks on each side that two levers attach to. i assumed that finding an active chipset cooler would be easier. maybe it's cuz barely anyone was dumb enough to go 775..... lol.

I got a Thermalright NB-C cooler for my mobo. I didn't even look to see if it would be compatible. Visually, it looks like it'll work. I'll try and put it on this weekend and let you know.

i'd appreciate that. i'm gonna take some closeup looks at the p5ad2e premium. how is the stock heatsink held in place?
