Could someone recommend a good chipset cooler for the MSI nforce3 neo plat? Thanks!

The Vantec iceberg is working good for me. That plus some AS5 sent my NB temps from 44 C to 35 C. I think it helped my Video card temps too (6800 GT). I haven't checked it yet though.

Which model of Iceberq do you use?

I bought the vantec iceberq chipset cooler also for mine you can take a peek here:

Its the model CCB-A1C


It comes in a package with some extra heatsinks, you can just toss them aside. I think it cost 9.99 at Fry's.

I threw some AS5 on there and had pretty much the same results 45-50C down to 30-35C

btw the thermaltake crystal orb does not fit on this chipset, the screw/pin holes are not in the right places
