I put a 80mm over mine on my Asus p5e. Worked a treat.

You could probably get away with a 40mm fan quite happily if the Northbridge has a tall-finned heatsink on it. I've seen a few Northbridges go from skin-meltingly hot down to just having the chill off them with just a 40mm fan running silently on 7Volts coupled with a big enough heatsink.

Cheers, Slipstreem.


System specs:

"Phoenix" / "The '43' Special" - 1.8GHz Intel C2D E4300 overclocked to 2.83GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (BIOS rev 2.10, VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 1GB Vitesta DDR500 RAM (2.5,3,3,7,1T @ DDR472MHz), Jetway ATI X1950Pro 256MB GDDR3 PCIe graphics card with modded AC Accelero X2 cooler dynamically overclocked to 650MHz GPU & 1.5GHz RAM. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

Will your current motherboard pull an FSB of 380MHz without any trouble?

If so then you're already at 3.4GHz. The very highest you're likely to go 24/7 with the cooler you have is 3.6GHz on the most expensive motherboard. Is it really worth any more expense for a possible 6% increase that you're never going to notice in the real-world?

Cheers, Slipstreem.
