790FX-M2RS southbridge

Guys i am having this board and the SB Temps hover around 55 Deg Centigrade. Can any one recommend me a good replacement for the same ?

55 is ok; my 790gx board temps are about the same for the northbridge, even with fancy copper heatsinks. You need to list a budget for the board first; the fancy ones are about twice the price of regular boards. Go for am3+ certification; bulldozer should be released sometime this year.

Sorry, i meant to ask replacement for the on board passive coolers they have on it. I dont intend to replace the board soon.
