SouthBridge fan?

[jack bauer]

My southy bridge is always burning up (50C+ on load). Can you use the baby fan that came with this board to cool it? Noticed a sb fn hook up. 3rd party one? My accelero is in the way though...

whats ur budget? the jingting one is teh best http://www.hardwarexl.com/reviews/cooli...heatpipe_chipset_cooler_from_jingting/ heard it was a bit pricy... they have an aluminium version as well... u could just add a small fan to ur chipset... blowing on it directly (if ur using passasive cooling)

I don't think that will fit over my southbridge. my accelero is right up against it.

I juat ordered the JingTing. Leaving the goofy name aside for the moment, it looks like it should work with the largest video cards and CPU coolers out there. The genius part is that the only part that goes over the SB chipset is the heatsink/heatpipe. The heatpipe then leads up and off at angle to the fin/fan combo. Importantly, the heatpipe can point in any direction you like. Just rotate the whole unit 90degrees at a time until it points in a direction where the fins and fan don't bump into anything else.
