Zalman ZN-NBF47 on a gigabyte 965 ds3

[madrix]

I was looking around and I read that the nb on the ds3 gets mighty hot when the board is pushed. Honestly, the cooler doesn't look that bad! I have a Zalman ZN-NBF47 brand new and I was wondering if anyone knew if this thing would be better than the stock nb cooler on the ds3.

Thanks!

The best thing to do would be to get a cheap 40mm chipset fan and mount it to the existing northbridge. Or you could get a larger fan and rig it up to blow fan over the existing heatsink.

Something like this would work.
