Is aftermarket Southbridge cooling necessary?

[JBS]

I just bought a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H am2+ motherboard, and the stock southbridge heatsink does not seem very high quality. The heatsink is very small, and it is made of thin gold-colored aluminum.

Would this stock southbridge heatsink be adequate enough, or would I need to get an aftermarket southbridge cooler.

The SB doesn't really need extra cooling, but having said that I did put the Enzotech SLF-1 on my SB. The cheap paste they put on the chip should also be changed.
