I saw a nforce system with a heatsink on its..southbridge! :Q
And naturally HSF on its northbridge..
Now.. do we really need a fan on northbridge?
What chipsets require you to install a fan on a northbridge?
Intel, or AMD..

those that require them come with them already attached from the manufacturer...and yes if it has it on there it is needed

Why do the Abit boards that normally can do 143MHz FSB have a fan,
while the Iwill boards that can normally do 160MHz FSB have no fan?

I have even seen reviews that said adding a fan to the Iwill and
you could get another 10MHz. Is the Abit fan doing nothing??
