sb cooler on 8rda+ - a Must!

hey all
I just installed a passive cooler on my 8rda+ sb.
I took an old mobo's nb cooler similar to the 1 who comes with the Iceberq (gettin' the Iceberq tommorow )
well installing the sb fix my sound prob:
while I played 2-3h the sb would get really hot and the sound would mess up :/
so I contacted Tom from the Epox support team he gave me the idea and I'm thankful.

here's a pic:

Nice that Epox recommends that as an after-market mod. Why not include one as a standard feature in the first place!

The 8RDA+, Rev. 2.0 has a passive heatsink on the SB. I checked a bare SB using an infrared thermometer and it gets 42 C at the surface, hot for computer components.

no sh*t i had mine @ 55c :/
