Heatsink on northbridge

I just recently bought a DFI Lanparty UT 250gb and have been very happy with it. But the heatsink on the northbridge chip does not seem to be very effective. I was wondering how many people have swaped their northbridge heatsink on this board? Is it recommended? If so what cooler do you guys recommend.

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Its a common swap, but it may void your warranty. You would think that keeping the NB cool would be a good idea.

I swapped mine out on my Epox 8RDA+ for a Vantec Iceberg kit. Made a nice improvement.
 
I was looking at this but just realized it wont fit because the northbridge is right under the graphics card. Here
and I have a 6800 and it has very little room between the two.

Do you think a fan would be the best cooler for this?
