Are there any fans available to place on the motherboard chip? My currently just has a heat sink, and I've noticed it runs pretty hot. I am using HWMonitor, and it says CPU2 is running at 72 degrees after I play games (I'm assuming CPU2 is the chipet. BTW, I have a ECS K7VTA2 w/ KT266A chipset) and my Athlon is sitting in around 47 degrees. Any advice would be appreciated. I also have a descent case fan running too.

i'm not sure what your CPU2 reading indicates... the chipset shoudn't run that hot, if u want 2 change your chipset cooler, try the crystal or orange orb from ThermalTake. they works pretty well and are active hsf
dont' get the blue orb cause it dosn't fit on my mobo ( Msi K7T 266Pro2 Ru ) there are 2 big capacitor in the way and it dosn't cover the entire chipset.
