I have had good results with this passive NB heatsink from Zalman.

Reply to what email?

Any reason why you need a replacment?

I'd call them if your current one failed and have them send a replacment.




If you want to go out and spend cash on one, the Zalman is pretty good from what I have heard.

It will obviously be silent as well..

Yeah that one is good too. I'd probably take the fan off though because it pushes so little air. I'm a big fan of passive heatsinks whenever possible.

Here's a good one:

Our Price $32.95

I have no comment on that, rofl......

The current heatsink over heats and shut the system off. I can't find a phone number at Aopen web site. I will not buy any more Aopen product.

Can anyone give their suggestion on this product. We do't get Zalman here in India, atleast not the NB heatsinks.

take a fan off of an old cpu heatsink(p2 or p3 or something small like that)/video card make a shroud and stick it on the n/b. works good for me dropped my temps by about 10c and cost me nothing as i had everything lying around

if it's a 915 then whatever fits..... and good luck

A P3 fan should do the trick, just need a little modding maybe to fit it on the hs. If you have a side fan that hits it try passive cooling if you can.

I hope you are 100% that it is the current HS to blame.. Otherwise after buying a fancy one, you will be very disappointed i imagine, should problem persist.
