A look at aftermarket chipset cooling @ AOA Forums

It is a little known fact that "universal" aftermarket chipset cooling is pretty much non-existant meaning that what coolers are available have a very limited application. For instance Intel systems usually have an unobstructed northbridge but the mounting loops prevent aftermarket installations. AMD systems use mounting holes but chipset location is often obscured by the video card.

Of the coolers out there none are very small so you need to ensure you have plenty of space.
"Not satisfied with what’s been given, seeking even more performance, or just seeking silence, an enthusiast needs some options, and quite a few companies are willing to provide. Today we look at four of these options, three passive coolers, and one active cooler. Let’s take a look"
I'm personally not impressed with any of the coolers in this review, they are all rather large and the mounting methods are poor at best.
