Chipset air cooling!!

23JMZ07 · 27 Apr 2014 at 20:42

Hey all,

Im upgrading soon so I need to go back to aircooling on my current rig before handing it over to someone else.

My major issue is that there seems to be a serious dearth of any aftermarket chipset coolers nowadays. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Board is an EVGA X58 Classified (e760 - no nf200 to worry about) which had an EK block on it, unfortunately the original sub-par cooler that EVGA supplied originally has gone walkies.

Thanks

Not sure if this would work

Cheers buddy, saw that one, think it is my only option. There used to be a huge selection for the air cooled mob, even small fans like enzotech etc for the SB.

Now just got to track one down!!

They are good coolers as long as you have decenctish airflow through case....or you can put on a small fan
