What kind of NB cooler does everyone have?
I figured it would be interesting to see some pics and possibly have some ideas thrown out for people like me who really need one.

So the Zalman is really frendly with Intel NBs? Sometimes I get really annoyed with the little metal hooks.

If you want performance
plus looks, why not try this?
It's Swiftech's new MCX 159-R Northbridge cooler.  I can't show you how it looks on my rig since I don't have a digital camera yet but it is working good so far. My passive aluminum got really hot to the point where it would burn the bottom of my finger. The MCX 159, though, dissipates heat a lot better and I was able to overclock more too!! Only downside is its high price. I bought mine at Frostech. |

Here is what the site's Conclusion says: __________________________________________________ ______________________________ Conclusion: The Swiftech MCX159-R can arguably be warranted as the currently best available active chipset cooling solution. The low noise levels and quality cooling allow for the Swiftech MCX159-R to be easily adapted into a high performance low noise environment such as a new or existing water cooling setup. The overall attention to detail and quality construction are very impressive with performance to match. The 1/4" thick copper base paired with the patent Helicoids aluminum pins ensure maximum thermal dissipation with minimal associated noise levels. The included documentation is excellent and easily guides users through the necessary mounting procedures. One minor drawback is the mandatory removal of the motherboard in order to install the unit yet this is typical for high performance units due to weight restrictions. As previously mentioned, users with larger heatsinks which use 80mm and 92mm should double check measurements prior to purchasing this unit. I didn’t encounter any overly negative aspects with the Swiftech MCX159-R during the review timeframe. Aside from a few minor issues, I’m rating the Swiftech MCX159-R MTB's Seal of Approval and a perfect score of 10 out of 10. If you have any questions regarding this review be sure to visit the Swiftech website for more information or discuss them in our forums. __________________________________________________ ______________________________ |

That's swiftech is looking very, very appealing.... Problem is, I don't know if I can justify buying it, sinse I already have a Zalman Passive here. Just haven't tried it yet.
