    Replacement chipset / northbridge cooler

    So the lil' 40mm HSF on my trusty EPoX 9NPA+ SLi has given up, and while it's fine at the minute (I have a 120mm fan blowing straight onto the northbridge) I'd like to replace it, ideally with a passive solution cos that bugger was the loudest thing in my system.



    Only problem being the graphics card goes straight over the top of it, so I've not got much space to work with.

    None of the Zalman heatsinks will fit so I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas?

    Thanks as always.
