You could use thermal epoxy. might interfere with your Heatsink if u put a larger sink on. The Zalman Northbridge coolers are fairly good, thats what i use. They will fit pretty much any northbridge and mainboard as well. What cooler do you have on your northbridge at the mo?

it should be fine with thermal epoxy

and it should be better than any stock northbridge sink

i just have the normal silver castle on ....

thanx slater / domstar think ill give it a go no harm in trying and it will be the cheapest mod ive ever done.......

mmmm now what to do with the spare asus cooler




EDIT if that fails an iceberg copper cooler should do
