copper Vantec Iceberq. it was a tight fit but if you position it exactly right it will fit. my south bridge stays cool with my fsb set at 225Mhz.

ummmm he asked for a northbridge cooler lol... the best AIR cooling device is Epoxying (or scrwing in if you feel like drilling holes) a old heatsink designed for a cpu... on my old REV 1.0 i used a celeron heatsink and that allowed me to get from 195mhz stable (the original revision had heating probs) to around 207mhz stable..... within the week i am gonna epoxy a aluminum (so lightweight) socket a heatsink that uses a 60mm fan to the northbridge with hope of getting around 240mhz (or higher) fsb.

stock amd coolers are nice and small, they would probably fit. I was going to put a zalm chipset cooler on, and attach a 22cfm 50mm fan. That should be enough to reach my potential i think. If the amd hsf fits i will just use that if not svc.com has the fan and zalm for $7. nice and cheap.

like gouda96 said, the zalman is a good passive (read quiet) NB cooling option, and any way i can always be augmented with something like a 40-50mm fan, i tried the AMD retail butit did not fit well on my NB (NF7-S), but mabey ill try again with different holes in the sink so i can get better positioning

I have a Vantec Iceberg lying around and it looks very similar in size and form to the stock fan on the Abit NF7-S. It should work fine.

i was thinking about the zalman or stock amd, but i just bought a 3 week old nf7-s with successful vdd and vdim mods. It has a big thermaltake hsf on the nb, and thermaltake heatsinks on the sb and mosfets. This mobo is going to rock. amazing deal for $85 HAHAHA!!!
