What's a good chipset cooler?

[Spur31]

What is the best chipset cooler on the market today?
I am watercooling, but don't really want to split the line for cooling the chipset. How good are the active cooling that motherboards are coming with?

I currently have,
Aquacoil radiator
waterblock (homemade but nice)
Watertank & magdrive Pump

Just wating for new motherboards to come out.
but want to have all the cooling supplies ready to go.
Thanks for any replies

get the blorb and lap it. It gives really good results. There really is no reason to water cool a chipset, they don't get that hot yet.

Yeah and a chipset block will add some heat to the water and your CPU. If it will fit on your board, try a 50mm wide Coolermaster Socket A HS. They cost less and cool better than the Blorb. You may have to grind a little of it or turn it a bit. On the KTY series boards it needs to be rotated about 10 degrees clockwise to fit,

That's why I didn't want to use a chipset waterblock
every Degree counts when you live in the Deep south.
Thanks you guys for the help.

This is what i'm using:

I've used AS Epoxy to attach it to the northbridge. Yeah, it's overkill...but so what?

Well I live in Florida, south Florida and I use the Blorb.

Is the blorb the same thing as the panaorb?

I think the active coolers that come with motherboards are pretty weak. I modified a blue orb. Copperfoot Blorb Works well for me!

Would that be a good vid card cooler as well?

Hey, nice neon green tubing!

The tubing is really Clear, the water has Dyelite in it.
When you put a blacklight on it it glows.

I'm a big fan of making your own northbridge HSF i cut this one down from a old AMD CPU and it works great but i'm really pushing my chip at 167FSB, i would stay away from the borb as there really weak they do perform better though if you do the copper plate on the bottom trick. I think any CPU HSF that you can get in there will keep your chip happy.

Frogger: Yeah, this would probably make a gread video cooler.

Well, I don´t think you should bother too much about that ting. Definately regarding water-cooling! Use all your water at the CPU! Personally, I mounted a (slightly) modified AMD-HS from CoolerMaster, and put the original ABIT fan on top of it. (take a look at the pic!) No prob´s, so far!
Planning to remove the waterblock from the vid-card, and substitute it with double-sided (low-noise) fans!

AMD T-bird1133@1507...

Fjeld - Nice to hear another voice of reason. Great looking rig too.

Since everyone is posting pics, here is a tired old one of the Coolermaster on my boards Northbridge.
