northbridge cooling

[sophron]

ive Nforce2 IGP mobo and using its MX440 onboard graphic chip. I want to use passive cooling with zalmans northbirdge heatsinks instead of active fan. What do you think? I only OC fsb from 266 to 333. Is this solutýon works or crashes? And if it wont cool enough,are there any possibilty of damageing NB chip? Thanks for comments...

i bought the zalman heatsink and mounted it today. Surprisingly now its cooler. But i think taht with a normal CPU fan+heatsink it wont be cooler. I use chps3000 and it has 9cm fan whick can cool mobo and NB chip with the cpu...

Which Zalman did you buy? I've got the 7000 model for my P4. Its very good but I found it very hard to fit. Did you have the same experience? If you brought the 6500 don’t worry about my question.
