QUIET chipset heatsink/fan...?

[sxftdeep]

I'd like to shut my computer up a little bit. Does anybody have any recommendations for a chipset heatsink/fan that is quiet? It would be preferable if it's availble in Canada, but I might consider ordering from the states. I'll be overclocking the FSB on my IC7 to 250MHz, so it should be a well performing heatsink/fan combination, but the main thing I'm looking for is low noise.

Edit - In case anybody is confused by what I mean (highly doubt it though), I need a northbridge chipset heatsink/fan.

if you arent OCing, get a zalman passively cooled one

I find that any ThermalRight solution with a Panaflo fan seems to work nice

Yeah, except that I said that I would be overclocking the FSB from 200MHz to 250MHz.

Damn guys, someone else that wants to overclock the sh*t out of his computer, but without fans. Sxft, why don't you just unplug the fan for the NB, and see what happens when you overclock it?

40mm fans don't make much noise, and if 35dba is too noisey for your tastes just unplug the computer and read a book.

Haha!:beer: Hey, there is some guy around here that runs his IC7 at 275 with a passive NB heatsink. He's even got a link to the heatsink, which is huge, but only costs $5. Maybe he'll come by in a few hours, so we can stop ragging you.

I'm not looking to overclock the northbridge chipset without a fan, I'm looking to overclock it with a fan that isn't noisy. Anything that's 20-30 dBa is good enough for me.

I run 255 FSB with a passive Zalman NB HS on an IC7. My rig is almost silent. Check system rigs for more info.

Hey, I don't need to reply to this 3 times, do I? Okay, then that's no problem whatsoever. Link to what you need.

Aha, it's Insane3d, Batman. He posted a picture of it on this thread here. I'm sure if you'll PM him, he will give you the link to where he got his passive heatsink for $5.
