My board is at 245 fsb.I read somewhere that some guy burnt his finger at 245 fsb because his chipset was at 145 degrees.. He got a fan for his chipset and he was able to OC more. What chipset fan should I get.

northbridge southbridge...
pick one!

Northbridge of course.. never heard of anyone cooling the south. Besides, there isn't anything on it anyway.

you are missing out on a lot

all of the hardcore overclockers cool their southbridge as well

even with a vantec copper iceberq heatsink fan!

thats overkill so i just have a copper heatsink glued onto it
which does a good job but it is still hot

anyways
vantec copper iceberq 4 is a good choice
if that doesnt fit your northbridge then go with the iceberq original

good kit

oh.. how about the thermaltake orb 7.. for the south... it's only $10

not good at all

non of the orbs really perform well
not even half as good as they look

looks for TT products are so deceiving...

trust me, vantec chipset heatsink is money well spent for mine

Well, my TT Aquarius is quite good at what it does, so I'll have to disagree, but yes, some of their products are VERY decieving. Take the Subzero 4G for example, it was horrible. I took it back and got my Aquraius system.

even aquarius sux so much compared to other watercooling system
the tubing is even smaller than my pinky

probably smaller than the TT aquarius's designer's penis...

well it is for sure the heat of the chipset.. first boot in morn and i can get past the 245 fsb.. Could/should i put that vantec fan on my current asus sink? My sink is quite bigger.
