Recently migrated from 780i to passive Rampage Formula x48 motherboard. While I'm pleased with the decision, I have one concern. The northbridge runs very hot(~60* load), especially above 1333MHz. Using the added cooler included with the board actually does not lower temps at all. Perhaps due to my BATX case.
I have a close tolerance for what I can use (see pic), and the only thing I've been able to find is the HR-05 SLI, This seems like it would allow me to offset the heatsink to clear my CPU heatsink. But, with this cooler on my board how can I reasonably manage cooling the rest of the components? I don't really want to spend $100 on trying to cool this thing so inexpensive components would be nice, but I'm not sure what's required for each component.
