NVIO chip cooling?

Hey everyone,

Quick question....I was planning to try out my tek-9 this weekend with some DIce on a GTX 280. Got it all apart and cleaned up (TIM on the GPU was the worst application I think I've ever seen), and I came to a halt looking at the nvio chip. I haven't really found anything about what I should do for that. Hopefully microcenter will have something, but I'm not holding my breath. Might have to postpone til next weekend. What do you guys use?

you could slap a ramsink or something on it to cool it.

I think that most of the components on the graphics card are usually cooled by cold traveling through the pcb from the pot. I am not familiar with that card though.

+1 moocow. Any heatsink you can stick on it is enough.

That's what I was thinking too, but I'm not sure. I've got a chipset heatsink that will bolt up (slightly twisted, but I don't see an issue with it). Couldn't hurt?

Slap something on it, just in case.

Thanks guys!
