Northbride Cooling - Fan too loud

[impactdax]

Does anyone know of a CPU cooler that will also cool the northbridge other than:

1. Arctic Freezer 7 - Too Loud
2. ZeroTherm BTF80 - May work, haven't tried.

These two work because they blow across the chip instead of down on it. Which also cools the Northbridge.

Or in the alternative I'd like to use a different cpu cooler and find a northbridge cooler to replace the stock fan that comes with the 780i. It is too loud.

Does anyone know if the 790i northbridge fan is any different/quieter?

Thanks

The AC 7 Pro doesn't help cooling the NB if you mounted it in the usual/proper way.
It does provide a sort of cooling for the mosfets, but it's weak. If you have a heatpipe in that area, probably it helps, but not much.
IMO the coolers generating perpendicular airflow towards the mobo are the best solution for cooling surrounding components (like the Tt Big Typhoon, Scythe Andy Samurai Master).
