Just curious, why do you need a chipset fan? Just for overclocking?

Yes. I am an o'clocker and I try to keep it all cool. I am trying to pinpoint what I think is a heat problem somwhere. I think this was it.

By the way. I bought the Tiger 1 and was just planning on putting the fan on my existing heatsink. Anyone know a way to mod this hsink so this fan will fit? Maybe someone has already done it. Here is the fan I got:

Tiger 1

Just use the tiger one. That way you can put some artic silver on your northbridge too.

I had already put some as3 on the northbridge. Someone else had mentioned (Thugsrook i think) that the tiger heatsink was not very good. This is the first time I have done anything tp the nbridge, so it is all new to me. Is the tiger hsink good enough?
