the slk900 of northbridge coolers.. at a price

All copper HSF for northbridge with good fan, and very quiet (27dba). Also comes with mosfet sinks and pl sinks. But $32 is a lot.

No kidding. If I were that nuts, I'd just epoxy a $10 SK6+ onto my northbridge.

Emericana · Jul 2, 2003

very nice kit looks great. however its much cheaper to epoxy a Socket A heatsink you have lying around to your northbridge. you would also get better performance because of a bigger heatsink and a 60mm fan (im talkin about using a aluminum heatsink a copper one could rip out the northbridge)

Nismo · Jul 2, 2003

yeah it would be wiser to put epoxy and use a socket a hsf than spending the money on that cooler

Spanko · Jul 3, 2003

but then if somethings wrong or goes wrong with the mobo your screwed and cant rma it. Epoxy is permanent, this thing has screws that allow you to remove to it, thus you wont void your warranty.

27dBA isn't quiet IMO.

yeah, not for a NB/HSF anyway. maybe for a case fan.

Thats not really that big, it may be a little taller than a stock NB HSF but its the same size as the chip pretty much. I like it, if it goes on sale for a good price I might get it. It's a little too pricey for me right now.

i'd never buy one of those but it does look nice/different

do mosfets get that hot that they need heatsinks? does it help to cool them? what are mosfets btw? i know they help with unlocking multipliers maybe but what do i know....

wannaoc · Jul 3, 2003

To cool mosfets is supposed to stablize your voltages a little better.

breez · Jul 3, 2003

Yep, and they have no relevance to unlocking multipliers

snowwie · Jul 4, 2003

mosfets are the three-pronged voltage regulators on the mobo
they regulate the voltage throughout your system

There is a review on the main page, If you search enough, on cooling the MOFETS Transistors and IC chips, it actually brings the 5v rail up.
