So a few weeks ago I had a thread running about my north bridge and south bridge running extremely hot on my Asus Maximus Formula in ambient temps on my new system.

I finally got a few things and took my machine apart.
First off taking the stock heat sinks was the worst!!! Took half the day.
Someone recommended the Thermalright HR-05-SLi/IFX for my north bridge.This is NOT going to fit. The chip is twice the size as the heatsink.
Is there anything else that might fit this chip? I also purchased a Vantec iceberq that i was going to use on my southbridge but maybe I should try that on my nb. Thoughts?
