Chipset fan replacement

If you've got good air flow and aren't overclocking your system you can unplug the fan and be on your merry way.

Seriously.

I only have 1 120mm case fan as of now, so that may not be the best bet. I'll take a look at that Zalman heatsink, though. Thanks guys!

BTW, if I haven't changed the chipset voltage at all, it shouldn't be warmer than usual, right? I do have the FSB (or whatever the AMD equivalent is) raised, but that's it.
 
You could get the Swiftech that I have listed in my signature. I love it, and you could probably use it passively if you don't care about the temperature that much.

I use the fan on mine and my temperature is a constant 27oC when idle, and 32oC when gaming. It's awesome. And no no no noise.

It's worth the price. It's high quality and it comes with a tube of arctic ceramique paste, which is like $10 by itself.
