same as title, im thinking about the copper vantec iceberg, but im not sure if it would be any better that the stock north bridge hs on the IS7(865P or springdale)
thanx:D:D
 
supposedly the thermaltake tiger1 is a good nb heatsink.

its only 5 bucks so you can't really go wrong there :D .
 
The stock NB heatsink and fan are nice. I wouldn't reccomend a switch unless you're experiencing some instability when you're overclocking, as it just wouldn't be worth the time and effort....

The ThermalTake is pretty beefy. Probably pretty loud too.
 
im replacing the stock hsf cus want to reach 300fsb, so the stock one might not do the job, does anybody know of any 50mm coppoer hearsinks?
 
Just came across this kit on another thread...might be worth checking out...

Microcool NorthPole northbridge cooling kit at sidewinders

"Every Northpole package includes 8 additional accessories called ChipSinks. Six of them are designed for attachment to the MOSFET power regulators, normally found near the ATX power connector. Two additional ChipSinks are to be placed on the PLL chips. These typically regulate your front side bus speed. The higher your FSB, the hotter they run. This is how extreme users will achieve higher and more stable front side bus clock speeds. All ChipSinks come prepped with a peel-off Chromerics T405 thermal interface pad."
 
cool but kinda expensive, you guys think a copper vantec iceberg would be good?, or maybe a TT crystal orb?, but i heard those where kinda loud
 
well u could epoxy or drill new holes on a cooljag 1u cpu cooler, although loud, would probably be the best air cooling solution you could put on there, unless u got the stock amd heatsink or something of that sort.
