I'm currently using a Zalman ZM-NB47J aluminium northbridge cooler on my Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe, and it's been working fine for almost a year. Hopefully it'll get through the summer, because the thing is seriously hot.
I'm wondering if there's a more potent passive chipset cooler for my future rig overhaul (including a new mobo)? Maybe there's a good model/brand that's generally recommended, but I wouldn't know since I've been out of the hardware loop for a while. I see that there are some made out of copper, which to my knowledge conducts heat better.

Zalman also has another one made out of aluminium as well, but with a different shape and 3 grams heavier http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/pr...oduct_Read.asp?idx=133
