(yeah, I already posted this in the abit/intel mobo forums but it seems a bit sloow over there and this post IS about cooling and I DO use watercooling so..coughcough)
The situation: K, so I ordered a gig of buffalo tech pc3700 ram from newegg for $190(had crucial 2700 before) thinking i would be able to o/c higher with it only to find it was the mobo limiting me all along..
have a zchip for the northbridge and maze4 gpu(not that it will help my fsb) waterblocks otw now... SO.. now i'm looking for more stuff to cool/stick heatsinks on.
Teh question: would this be the pll chip? it's running around 60C.
would cooling this, southbridge, and maybe the mosfets(they're 63c+) help at all? or is it new mobo time?..
plan on updating post when NB block comes if it helped or not as well..
