Can NB coolers fit on your Video Card chipset?

[simms]

I fit a passive Zalman NB cooler on my Video Card, and it ran through 3DMark fine. Should I be worried?

And, how do you remove a northbridge fan? Do I have to remove the motherboard and go underneath the MB to pop out the screws?

The Zalman ZM-NB47J is the newer model. It has a little more weight but also taller and requires more room. I use the NB47. See Sig. for Pics of it in my Sonata(It's Green UV painted).

I think the holes for vga coolers are slightly farther apart then for northbridge hsf's. Those zalmans use brackets though, maybe theres one for a video card. I passively cool my ti4200 with a stock heatsink from a retail xp2200 held on with arctic silver epoxy, it matches the stock ramsinks and looks pretty dope.

ya, my blue NB47 matches the blue sinks on the Ti200...
