What is that? Modified Zalman VF700Cu? or a modified Zalman something!
I think its a VF700 graphics cooling heatsink with a few extra mounting holes and no fan
There are loads of chipset mods here:

I just pulled the fan out and now it makes no noise.
Just a cheap nasty mod with the SVC800Cu.
Cost me less than 8 quids. Bad thing is it blocked my USB2.0 ports
Temperature at 42'C semi-passive now.

Thats a Quality Mod
Zalman do a nice big passive Northbridge cooler you can get from overclockers.co.uk
The only heat pipe northbridge cooler i recall seeing was on either a Gigabyte or Asus MB, could try and get a "blown" motherboard with one on or get one as a spare part
I think its on the asus a8nsli premium.
This is a major problem for me made worse by the fact Gigabyte have kindly positioned it so the video card has about 1cm of clearance.
Akasa have a cheap £4 fan, but I imagine any heatisnk that fits will do.
silenx do a fan thats 1cm high.
Yup, Asus A8N-SLI Premium:
So basically a cheap remake of the ZF700Cu! Yeah I'm looking for a passive northbridge, found this but I have yet to see anyone stock it.Originally Posted by arthurleung

Cooler Master Blue Ice II (RT-UCL-L4U1)
Information
It's got a small fan in side but that can be easily removed using the four screws on top. I've read one or two reviews so I'm not sure if it's new, uses heatpipe technology so it's a first for an aftermarket northbridge cooler. Looks like a good design if you have the room on your board, better than the Zalman.
I've e-mailed Coolermaster to see if they can tell me a Uk stockist.

Now this is more like it: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...?t=6577&page=5
Now thats what i call a northbridge cooler
That does look cool, but how are you able to get a graphics card in there? I can't see a low-profile card fitting, I dunno maybe its just from this angle it looks that way. I suppose a birds eye view would be able to confirm whether you could fit in a graphics card or not?
If you have a look on the post a couple more pages in, you'll see that the mans GFX card fits through the gap, way cool
Wow!
Not clicked on the link for the DFI forums but who makes that northbridge?
Don't say he made that himself?!?!
