Chipset and mosfet cooling on DFI ultra D

[-=DouglasteR=-]

Hi folks, my chipset is a bit ( 60º ) hot ( i live in Brazil ) and because of the size of the 7800gtx, im out of ideas to increase cooling performance on my chipset ! there any ideas !:? Any cooler made for these especifications !?

Thanks for the help

A simple solution is to remove it, and put Artic Silver 5. I think this will reduce temps somewhat.

Also MAXX once cut a AMD Stock Heatsink to fit on it. And it worked very effectivelyl from what I remember.

Or can buy Aftermark Cooler

Scroll down and see the great chipset cooling solution I made to get the northbridge SUPER cool. I removed the stock cooler, and with a dremel moto-tool, ground down various sections of the Vantec Iceberq 4 GPU cooler and made new mounting holes.

I'm running dual Prime 95 right now at 2.6ghz on my 3800+ X2 and while my core with my Thermalright 948u isn't exactly the best CPU cooler... i'm still maxing out my loat depts at 47'c and my chipset temperature is a chilly 27'c. My chipset runs roughly 8-9'c cooler with this monster compared to the total POS cooler made by Asus.
At idle my CPU sits around 33-34'c and the chipset runs around 26'v.

how do u messure the chipset temperature?

My buddies thermal probe which i inserted underneath it so it made contact with the chipset core. I should have taken photos.

Btw... i made a typo in my earlier post. when idle, the chipset was 33'c (before) while idle and under full load (dual prime 95 with SuperPi) the chipset never broke 32'c and is currently idling at 27'c.
