My Asus P4C800 mobo uses a large passive northbridge heatsink. Is that enough in terms of cooling? I will be water cooling the cpu and gpu very soon so also watercooling the northbridge is a possibility although I only know one block that uses the new northbridge mouting mechanism (I think danger den makes the zchip block for that now).

I could also replace the passive heatsink with an active one like the fan on abit's board but I have not found any replacement heatsinks that work with the mounting mechanism.

Any thoughts?
 
.Well since you can never have you computer too cool, if you can afford it. I say go for it.

I'm about to use my old athlon 950 hsf on my nb passive heatsink, it's probley the same sink as yours. With that I can hopefully get my fbs up to 220 at stock vcore :cool:
 
True. Not sure if I want to water cool it thought because it would end up adding more heat to the loop and also restrict flow further.

Anyone with a i875 board have any thoughts?
