Passive Northbridge Cooling

[Spikey217]

I've got a NF7-S with a SP-97 right now and was looking to replace the northbridge fan with something passive. At first, ThermalRight's NB1 (was thinking of running it without the fan) looked good but a quick e-mail to ThermalRight's tech support killed that idea (no space).

Anyone know if the Zalman ZM-NB47J will fit? Or the Swiftech MCX159? Any other recommendations?

Thanks.

the zalman should without a problem

I doubt that MCX159 will fit but that Zalman which I think is either that blue or the gold one should fit just right.

Thanks for the responses. Just placed an order for the Zalman at SVC. Will update with results.

I have a Zalman NB35J on my NF7-S and it cools very well. Hope you are satisfied with yours...

Tight fit. Looks really nice.

Edit: I changed the stock chassis fans on my Lian Li with Panaflo L1As as well and it's nearly silent now. This rocks!
