Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4.
CPU cooler is Xigamatek HDT-S1283 with one fan attached.

I'd like to attach a small fan to the northbridge heatsink, and one to the southbridge, to push a little air across them.

Are there small fans out there that easily clip onto the heatsinks and use the motherboard connections for power?

The Xigamatek blocks about 1/4 of the area of the northbridge, in case that matters.

Second question: Do I have the heatsink in the right orientation? It has the fan blowing directly out the back toward the rear case fan, and kind of overlaps the northbridge heatsink.

Thanks!
