What would be the best thing to get to cool the north bridge that would FIT a Asus A7N8X Deluxe. I was lookin at the Iceberqs and thought it might help in the temp from over clocking.

Any ideas?

I would have to say that this is the best if your looking for something made to fit. Otherwise you could use something like an sk-6+ if it will fit.. If your not doing any serious overclocking/vmodding though a copper icberq should be fine.

if you would rather not pay $30, a zalman passive nb heatsink plus a good 40mm fan works well too.

well i just got my nf7-s and the OE northbridge cooler looks exactly like the vantec iceberg. it's painted silver and they put an abit sticker on it. otherwise it's the same thing. i'd look at that considering the fact that it will cool a board with the same northdrigde and adjustable vdd in the bios.

btw if you want one of these cheap you can get them from excaliber PC for like $5. i'm not sure how much they normally cost but for $5 it's a deal.

Would that microcool fit a asus a7n8x deluxe nicely? and would it be better than a iceberq?

Np, hell yeah it should fit on there perfectly since it's only 40mm and that's probably about the same size or maybe even smaller than stock heatsink.
