nforce4 cooling

I have the typical overheating problem with the nforce4. My board just has a heatsink. On a few of the ASUS nforce5 boards there is a heatpipe on the nfocre5 chip. Is this effective, it looks like my video card could sit over it. Can this be purchased seperately and if so who makes it?

This worked for me on an Asus A8N-E whcih I had to use a HS that I could swivel to get out of the way of the X1900XT

If needed and if you have room, you can add an 80mm fan easily

HR-05
 
depends on the location of the chip on your board. if it's under the PCI-e x16 slots, you're stuck with a thin cooler. otherwise, I would recommend the Thermalright HR-05 as well. I personally use a Cooler Master Blue Ice 2 but the fan seems to be dying already (6 months of use).
