500964 2006-11-21 12:39:00 Are northbridge chipsets and their heatsink mounting holes usually of similar dimensions?

My motherboard only has a passive heatsink and its getting rediculously hot and I have been looking at a northbridge heatsink+fan replacement.

500966 2006-11-21 20:00:00 What you should find is that quite a few of the Northbridge coolers have adjustable pins so if the chipset pin holes are larger, you can adjust them. bob_doe_nz (92)
500967 2006-11-22 04:22:00 Lots of after-market chipset coolers have compatibility lists on the manufacturers website. Pete O'Neil (6584)
500968 2006-11-22 04:55:00 before doing anything check your case cooling. absolutly pointless trying to cool with hot air. tweak'e (69)
