aftermarket cooler for asus sabertooth x58.

[voodoo do'er]

Are there any good aftermarket coolers for the sabertooth x58?
my NB runs hot even with a 40mm fan. the system is OC, without the OC it runs fine.


I'm betting I'm going to need something custom, but I'd thought I'd ask.

waterblocks are fine too. I don't mind any ghetto rigging ether

Ajay, he is talking about the northbridge,not the cpu...

OK did not seem that clear to me, thanks for the heads up! Sorry for the mix up maybe this would be a better idea by using a cooling fan from a Ram set up!

"NB" in the first post is Northbridge.

Problem with X58 is all the coolers are heatpiped to the mosfets too?

Makes it much more difficult. Try Thermalright for neat standalone NB and mosfet coolers, might be an option.

I know, but there's 2 sets of mosfets. only one has a heatpipe, maybe the sink will cool enough on it own. but IDK.
