Ok so I need a fan that will fit on the M2n-sli northbridge

Ever since I bought this bored I have had nothing but heating issues
If you have this style of bored and you can reccomend a good northbridge fan and/or heatsink I would be very grateful

Oh here is a picture of the motherboard incase you dont have one and fail to understand why I am having such a problem with picking a fan

And yeah that big silver thing in between the Pci slots is the problem

Remove the heatsink and clean off the stock thermal paste. Use Arctic Ceramic thermal paste and reseat the heatsink. Then attach a 40mm or 50mm fan to the heatsink with either screws or hot glue. That should help a lot.
