The sb dont gererate much heat. I've checked mine, and it is around 25°C(I have a heat sink on it.) A waterblock on it is just unnecessary, will take more time, more material and one more thing that can leak.

Click to expand...

Currently, 21°C.

I checked the sb-temp with a meat thermometer, and the contact between the sensor and the heat sink might not be the best, but the temp I got, was 25°C.

You don't need a southbridge and at most any northbridge cooler with a slow fan is more than enough even overclocking.

I only suggest northbridge cooling when you don't want fan noise at all. Try your hand overclocking with what you have already.
