i used an enzotech CNB-S1 on the southbridge, just had to mod the holes on it as they are 2 far apart. for the mosfets i just left that part of the original cooling on the board; it is seperate from the heatpipe.

Did you use thermal paste on SB? And did you use this quartered ring from the Enzotech package around the SB-Chip?

i used arctic silver ceramic, not sure about the other part you are asking. i just had to bring the holes closer together to mount on sb. on a side note if you want to go with crossfire you probably want to use the lower high version.

I got a Enzotech CNB-S1L. But after mounting a part of the board burned out(don`t know right words in english). So you used Ceramique for SB. Chill Factor should be also ok!?
What cooler do you use for NB? Also used AS Ceramique? Perhaps I will try your version of half pipe removing for SB and NB and stick with the rest for mosfets.

Edit:
Here 2 pics of the burned part:

Here I have marked it in red but you have to look closely:

i switched to water-cooling the northbridge. i used the swiftech mcw30. the mounting points are a little smaller than board hole distance but it fits. the heatpipe is hard to get off.
