No, read my first post.

No! These do not provide anywhere near as good cooling as a heatsink with fan. I learned that the hard way.

It's enough for just about every chipset aside from the nForce4. Small 40-50mm fans are loud and prone to failure, passive should be used whenever possible.

He didn't say that he didn't have an NForce4... and you neither asked him nor qualified your response.

The nForce4 is the only chipset hot enough that would ever need active cooling; everything else can be cooled passively. I would go with one of those Zalmans.

zalman's site says that if it has onboard video, which mine does, that you should have one f the coolers mentioned above which are their coolers... hmmm i think im just gonna take the stock, which has a fan, put some AS5 on it and see how it works
