iceberg4 or zalman for chipset?

[gouda96]

Which would be better for cooling a north bridge?

The Zalman ZM-NB32J North Bridge Heatsink with a 60mm 22cfm fan, or the vantec iceberg4 pro?

[Teus]

a zalman, the heatsink is way bigger (though it's just alu)

[gouda96]

so zalman + fan should be a good combo? It is nice and cheap too. $7.75 for the zalman and fan over at svc.com... great prices over there.

yeah it is really good, i have ordered 2 zalmans + 2 40mmfans.

1 for northbridge and 1 for southbridge (with epoxy)

vga/chipset. It is realy crappy though. costs alot of money for a tiny copper sink with a horrible fan. It is almost as bad as stock cooling on either a vid card or chipset. You could be like me and put a stock intel hsf on your gpu, and a stock amd hsf on your nb.
This is on my old machine, I am going full pelts on my new one :banana4:

How do you get a fan on the zalman?

[gouda96]

glue would work. just 4 tiny drops of superglue on the corners.

you could use screws like any othe rheatsink, eithe ruse big screws or small screws but squeeze the fins in on each corner.

Only one pin of an Iceberq 4 will fit. I had one on my NB but it couldnt really handle it.. even when i ripped out the inards and put a good 40mm fan on it. It's basically a thin copper plate with fins on like 10% of it and it even has 3 holes in the plate that would create some very hot spots on the nb.

nVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti: 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800 Series
nVIDIA GeForce 4 FX Series

geforce 4fx?

yeah get the zalman heatsink, i bought 3 of them for 4$ each, cut em all into 4 pieces, 8 pieces on the memory of my videocard and the other 4 will go on the mosfets soon

[gouda96]

I found this pretty big cpu hsf to put on my nb. I am going to try putting an sk6+ on my nb on my new comp, I just put one on my 9500-9700

I use an old slot hsf for my ramsinks. The one i am about to cut up has a 1/4" thick base with 2" high fins!!! It is going to be insane, i will post picks when i am done

have a look through the video and sound section in general hardware gouda96, a lot of ppl have done that, might give you some ideas

a zalman chipset cooler with Delta 40mm will be nice.

[gouda96]

I have been watching the "for sale" section of about 6 forums and ebay for the last 2 months, and I am yet to see one unfortunately. I will keep looking though.

[sandman]

that 40mm fan is insane.

Also, ygpm gouda.
