p5n-e NB cooling

[ColossusX]

As above, need some advice for a good HS for the northbridge of my P5N-E SLI mobo. The Zalman 9700 is huge and overhangs the HS. Or should I just keep the standard HS and add a fan? And if so, what size are people using? Ive done a search, but haven't seen much on it. I am putting a Zalman ZM-NB47J on the SB. The height doesnt bother me, since I never really plan on running SLI. I can barely afford 1 expensive card, let alone 2!

Thanks

Hey ColossusX, did you solve your problem? What was your solution?

I also want to put a 9700 onto a P5N-e. Does that heat sink extend above the top edge of your motherboard?

Cheers.
