Hello,

i am planning on getting a Arctic Cooler for my graphics card so i can do some overclocking.

my problem is the chipset cooler on my current board, MSI K8N Diamond is very close to the PCI-E slots and i think the Arctic Cooler may partially cover the chipset cooler.

at the moment the chipset is running at 35degree's which is ok i guess for an overclocked system. but if i want to overclock more will i have a problem due to the chipset temp and the fact i might not be able to get another cooler for the chipset?

i have a Vantec Copper Chipset Cooler than i am not using at the moment, will this be better than the stock Northbridge cooler on the K8N.?

i will add a picture if i can to show you what i mean if i havnt really made it that clear.
 
are they actually any good tho? because i found the artic coolers veruy good when i had 1, and i also liek the fact the air is getting pushed out of the case and not back into
