Do i need to put additional cooling on those bridges? Or is the default cooling component good enough?

The default heatsink is enough

No, not at FSB's around 200MHz in dual channel sync mode. There have been several reports on people being limited on FSB, until they improved the cooling on the Northbridge and added passive cooling to the Southbridge.

Are you going to overclock to around 200MHz FSB+Memory?

Is 200mhz possible with air cooling? Thought u need water cooling to get stability at 200mhz.

It is difficult to get 200MHz even with water cooling.

nonsense, i'm doing 200Mhz Fsb on my Epox 8rda+ Nforce2 motherboard right now, just air cooling, Alpha Pal8045t heatsink with a Vantec Tornado volt modded and rheobus (quiet, at 2700-3000rpms). The northbridge heatsink is passive and doesn't get that warm at all, however, the southbridge (MCP-T) could use a heatsink, it's rather hot to the touch

Instead of Rdram, why not just merge 4 Sdram channels...

Well, by living in Australia i don't get access to those high-end cooler like US people do :(.
So with a decent cooler will i get stable operation at 166mhz without additiona cooling at those bridges?(btw RAM isnt a problem)
