I am wondering if these are effective. The brackets attach to existing slot screws, and and position a fan to direct air onto the motherboard, or over other slots. But would such a fan disrupt airflow in the case? Right now I am concerned about cooling a northbridge chip, and it would be easier that dissembling the motherboard to replace the heat sink, and preferable to hot gluing a fan or wedging screws from a fan into the fins of the heatsink. So - the fan would be directing air the distance from the PCI bracket screws to the motherboard.

Another issue for me if I use this to cool the northbridge is that I will have a 120mm case fan directing air just to the left of it and overlapping, and another 140mm fan directing air out the top of the case.
