Safe NF4 NB temp?

[ampes]

Hi guys..
just had some little questions..

What is the safe temp for Nforce4 chipset?I have A8N-SLI Prem with passive heatpipe NB+VRM cooler+AS5. Everest reports 30c while Aerogate sensor 48c, non OC.System load around 58c-Aerogate.

Could someone recommends good NB cooler to replace this stock HS? I have long 7900GS card hover near above the chipset.Will be problem here with large HS.
Is it safe to let VRM without HS if I pull off stock HS?

Need to make some cooling preparations before summer comes.

Thanks for help.

No, if your mobo has a VRM HS leave it on.

I ordered the above a few days ago for my Gigabyte k8NSLI
Everything I've read about it sounds good to me. You would have to take a hack saw to your existing Heatpipe system probably, which would mean destroying it.

In your case, I would recommend this:
