I found a way to lower my SB and NB temps! I already replaced the paste on the SB and NB to AS5 and tightened the screws.
before: 40mm 5,000rpm fan on NB
now: 60mm ADDA 11.5cfm 3,500rpm fan on the NB and placed the Antec Spot Cool over the SB
Temps went down 4C for both the SB and NB
I figured out my G.Skill 2x2GB F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ @ 1066Mhz 1.9v runs cool on idle and on load cause of the low voltage, so it doesn't need the Antec Spot Cool. I used 3M Heavy Duty Double Sided Industrial tape to secure the 60mm fan on the NB fan
Has anyone tried using a Thermalright HR-05 or the Sli version? I was at my friends place a while ago, we tried the HR-05 Sli and it can be mounted, problem was we needed longer screws just like the one used on the stock chipset heatsink.
