What do you guys think is the best way to cool the chipset on the a7n8x? I heard the alum heatsink isnt too good. So should I take it off, put some thermal grease on it and slap it back on, or get a bigger heatsink, or get a fan/fan+heatsink? Also, is it better for the fan to be blowing down on the heatsink or sucking air up from the heatsink?

Thanks for any suggestions...

I have one of these on my kt333 and its great.. cant do better then that for 6 bones. If you have a high powered cpu fan the air will blow on this sink healping the cooling afect. i have a 80mm fan mounted on top of this and my ddr right now. Works good
