Northbridge cooler on a graphics card?

would this work alright mounted on a GPU (like a radeon?) in front of a side-blowhole and with a slot cooler? or would there just be no point?
thoughts, comments, flames for a stupid idea?

Works great for my Ti 4200 (the NB32j, that is)
Top Motor 92mm thermally controlled fan @5v cooling it...not even a hiccup.

my old GF2 MX had a Passive cooler like the new zalman one. Got pretty warm so I mounted a 50mm fan on it.

With my 8RDA+, I've found that the holes for nb or sb are not exactly the same distance as the holes on a video card. I found this out by buying 2 video chip coolers that would not fit on my northbridge. I'll sell you either, a Thermaltake Crystal Orb, or the Vantec Iceberq 4, neither used.

The HS would work fine as I have a 9500Pro with a passive HS but an 80mm NMB fan blowing over it. My only caveat is why you have a blowhole (assuming it's directly over the VGA card and blowing in) and also a slot cooler. My thoughts are that the blower is only ejecting cool air straight from the blowhole. If the blowhole is blowing out, I still contest that the slot blower is unneeded and just contributing noise.

FWIW

...mine works fine w/o a blowhole.

I've got the slot cooler because I bought it for my friend's shuttle and it didn't fit, so I just figured I'd put it in my comp. I wasn't sure if it was doing any good or not, but as far as noise goes, it's hardly noticeable over the smart case fan 2 sitting over my proccesor, let alone the other 4 case fans. I think I just wanted to make sure that there was still some air flow toward the GPU and that the blowhole wouldn't just be stirring up some hot air. I don't really have anyway of testing which way works best, so I'll probably just pull the slot cooler (or move it to the very bottom, I don't know)

Thanks for the input.
