Anyone try out the Swiftech MCX159 northbridge cooler yet?

Big ALCU heatsink with 40MM fan and 1/2" copper base on it. Looks similar to their CPU coolers, though small. ANyone got one of these yet? They claim it allows for "extreme" FSB ocing.

Insane3d did something similar a few months ago. He used the CPC 30370 from KDC computers. It is the same size as the MCX159, but has an aluminum base rathter than copper. Cost only $5 though vs $40 for the Swiftech. It doesn't have the mounting clips that the swiftech has, but at that price I think I'll use it and AS thermal adhesive.

edit: the CPC 30370 doesn't come with a fan, but does come with a fan mount.

I had the 30370 on my NF7-S (insane3d style). :) It accepted 60mm fans.
