So a 40mm fan doesn't make a difference?

[H]ardOCP used a gigantic 20cfm fan on their northbridge and it enabled them to get up to 275fsb.

Anyone have any good suggestions?

I was looking at the Zalman NB-32J but it probably requires thermal adhesive for installation (unless someone knows a clever way to install devices that are deisgned for the other mounting type)

However, this is still a passive solution.

Anyone seen good alternatives?

I do the exact same but use an 80mm fan instead.

One of the things that might help a bit is to pull off the heat sink and apply some Artic Silver III. That was one of the first things I did before actually installing the Mobo.... after that... I have a 80mm fan blowing across my Northbridge.

I'm working on trying to obtain the fan/water cooling system that RH recommended to me. :eyepop: :D

I don't know though. This setup might be toooo bleeding edge. :p
