I might pick one of those up myself, I'm a fan of their TRUE.

antec spot cool all the way...or zipties and a 120mm fan like the pros do

sivallakos · Aug 5, 2010

does the Thermalright HR-05 fit on both
north and southbridge and is it compatible
with my mobo?

m0r7if3r · Aug 5, 2010

looks like you'd need one for nb and one for sb, though the sb one shouldn't be necessary imo

here's a compatability list one click away from the link provided earlier

well my sb and nb coolers are connected via a heatpipe
so i can't change only one. also the thermalright isn't
compatible with my mobo. any other solution?

You could always get two and modify the mounting system if they don't fit. :shrug:

Nothing a drill couldn't fix.

m0r7if3r · Aug 5, 2010

Is there any reason an antec spot cool won't work? maybe just better case airflow with some cable managment or something...

sivallakos · Aug 5, 2010

unfortunately i am not very comfortable with
that, i am afraid that i will break something. besides
i don't have a drill.

m0r7if3r · Aug 5, 2010

you could mount a 120 on top of a stack of standoffs or 2 if you want...it looks ghetto but it works...

sivallakos · Aug 5, 2010

i know but the problem (most cases i've read)
won't go away. (always talking about the specific mobo)

m0r7if3r · Aug 5, 2010

that sounds like bad contact between the heatsink and the bridge then...if you take off the cooler and go with 2 of those tr thingies you might be able to drop your temps a bit.

sivallakos · Aug 5, 2010

they don't fit that's the problem

m0r7if3r · Aug 5, 2010

try reapplication of thermal paste on the nb/sb? use some good stuff like shin etsu x23

sivallakos · Aug 5, 2010

well that was the first thing i was going to do
but i thought it would be better to change
the cooler too. well if there isn't a compatible
one i'll stick with the paste.

you could always put a 60-70mm fan on the NB cooler, or use one of the Spot coolers as already mentioned, and change / re-apply TIM

the "they don't fit that's the problem" comment
was about the thermalright heatsinks

sivallakos · Aug 5, 2010

is this compatible for sb and nb? does it
fit my mobo? (i mean the screws location not the size)

or this one

Try reapplication of thermal paste first...no reason to spend more money than you have to.
