I figured with all the heat issues I have been having
I needed to do smething big like this to fix it
As stated before my north bridge ran at 55c
Which is totaly unacceptable even overcoocked
For my standards anyway
I took out the heat sink cleaned it up
Put some at tic silver 5 on there
Reattached them then added the corsair dominator ram cooler on top
Now my north bridge runs at 30c and it looks 100% custom LOL
I'll post some pics later of it
It looks amazing
It was a tight fit underneeth the tuniq tower CPU cooler
I even lost 4c off the CPU heat
I'm totaly happy with this now
The idea came to me when I was foolin around trying to fit that corsair air cooler on my kenisgton hyperx ram which would have to be nodded to work properly anyway because it sits about inch and half off the ram
Then I was lookin a the north bridge and I thought hummm this looks like it mite fit
And it worked SWEET
Anyway I'll get to the pics tomorrow
If anyone is interested this is an amazing way to cool your north bridge so u can volt the crap out of it
