Northbridge cooler ?

[Blackhawk47]

un wandering/thinking about getting this but how do i go about getting it to fit my motherboard. does it have to be a certain chipset or something?

was looking at this as an example: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...Noctua NC-U6 Dual Heatpipe Northbridge Cooler

no, just needs to have the holes for the push pins, and the space for it to be seated depending on the position of u're chipset against u;re processor it might be tight.

I have just fitted a Thermaltake Extreme Spirit ll (don't laugh it actually has decent reviews and it only cost a fiver) to the bargain Biostar P35 board in my second pc. The reason for doing so was because the chipset was running stupidly hot. Anyway, even though the cooler was only a Freezer 7 Pro the chipset cooler would'nt fit in the orientation that i wanted it to, ie, facing the same way as the Freezer 7 Pro. Luckily my chipset cooler can be fitted in just about any orientation so i eventually got it fitted. I should imagine that the situation would be worse if i had one of these massive cpu coolers.
