what is the best bang for the buck cooler for my northbridge chipset?
I have an IS7 motherboard(yea the ones with the gig ethernet) and im using a 2.4C i purchased last year. My cpu hits a wall at 260fsb. Before 260fsb my computer is as stable as can be and can pass ANY test. Right after u hit 261, i am lucky if it even boots. This leads me to believe its not the chip. I have a SLK 900 cooler so its not the cooling. I have corsair 3200 XMS ram. That if i try to 3:2 settings its the same outcome as 5:4.
Anyway, back to my real question. What cooler should i get for my northbridge chipset? and does anyone think it should help with my OC. Thanks
