Chipset Cooling

[DennyCraneBL]

I have a Gigabyte 965P DS3 Motherboard, housed in a Asus T212 (cheap) case - the temps at the front of the case are 25c with fans on medium, 32c at the back - I have one 8cm fan at the front, 2 at the back, an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro and a PSU with a 12cm Intake and 8cm Outake.

I have it overclocked to 415FSB, which is making the northbridge quite hot - 38c, it just has the standard heatsink on it, I want it to be as cool as possible, what would the best cooler for it be?

Thanks!

\waoh... 38c was hot? is that the maximum temp?

geeze ive got more problems than i thought lol ><' my northbridge is 45c normal and the southbridge 50c+ due to the video card blowing hot air over it !!

38C on the NB is quite cool. You have nothing to worry about. Come back when it reaches over 70C then you may have a problem.

Technically his first post says - 38C so that is really cold. Maybe too cold...

Thermaltake Spirit 2 is an awesome NB cooler. Brought my temps down considerably.
