I bought one for pretty cheap at Compusa a few days back and apoxied it to my mobo... Seems to work :stick:
Has anyone used it before? Should I keep it or buy a different cooler?

If it keeps it cool and that 40mm fan doesn't drive your crazy then I'm sure it's fine. What mobo are you using this on?

not bad.. I've got the Vantec IceBerg myself.. and it does an excellent job.. then again nVidia chipsets really don't get really hot...

Yeah, there's not really a reason to cool down modern NF3/4 chipsets anymore than their stock coolers do, most people can do over 400MHz FSB on the stock one.

used this one as a chipset cooler during my ln2 & DI runs, this coolre and low temp air does the trick _:D

what???~!?!~???~?!?!??~?~?!?!@?!?@?!@?!?$?#@?!?
yes they do. putting out 20 watts its ALOT for a friggin chipset. Those dinky fans don't do the trick. I'm dumping nf4 partly becasue of this reason. my cheapo tul xpress 200 board is doing me fine, and actually allows me to cool the Vregs on my 1900xt, instead of a chipset cooler getting in the way. Just a little air flow around the stock north and south bridge sinks and it does fine.

Dude if you think 20watts of heat is alot, you are in the wrong forum.
This is xtremesystems not hey everything is cool systems.
