Hey what's up. I'm a relatively new overclocker and this is probably my first official overclock. I just bought an Athlon XP 2500 Barton for my MSI K7N2-L. The board runs at 333 fsb normally and i'd like to get it running at 400. The northbridge on the board only has a heatsink on it. I'm planning on moving that heatsink to the southbridge, which has no heatsink, and putting this on the northbridge...

It originally was meant to cool PIII's. I took the bracket off so now all I have is the fan/heatsink. One problem I seem to have run into is that I don't know how to attach the fan to the northbridge. I'm not sure what kind of adhesive I need to do so.

Has anyone tried pumping this particular board to 400 fsb? And do you think this is adequate cooling for the northbridge?

Here is a link listing the fan specifications. It's actually a pretty good fan.
