Cool Chipset on MB

[foxnews]

I was so worry and spent alot of time on how to best cool CPU and case but often ignore the chipset on the motherboard. I think many newbie do the same.

well since E6300 was overclocked to a crazy frenquency (3.3GHZ with no limit yet), I tried to touch everything from graphic card, memory, chipset, etc with my finger. I noticed that the chipset heatsink (on DS3) was very hot to touch. I can't even put my finger on it for more than 5 seconds.

with this kind of heat, nothing will last long. I am thinking of a cooling solution for this chipset. the challenging part is chipset cooling is not popular and not many products. plus, fitting chipset heatsink on the motherboard next the a big cpu heatsink/fan is not an easy task. plus there is no standard size.

I did some searchs and found this heat sink.

it got a review from http://www.moddin.net/review.asp?ReviewID=211&PageNo=0


my main concern is if I will have trouble installing it on my MB with a big Artic Freezer Pro 7. the fan can be retate around to avoid any obstacle. the hook screw can be adjusted to different size.

Anyone tried this on DS3 board with Freezer Pro 7?

Try the Jing-Ting NB cooler. It can be mounted in almost any direction... It'll let you avoid obstruction.

Jing Ting has the same design as Thermaltake CL-c0034. but its base connects to the heat sink with one copy pipe only. the thermaltake got two copper pipes.

The jing ting is "more out of the way" than the CL-c0034.

I think 1 heatpipe is overkill for a NB, but it's up to the OP.

Consider the Thermalright HR-05 as well.
