    Ive looked around and have had no luck!!

    anyone know a good way to keep the PCIE agp bridge cool.. I cant get a good over clock because of that... and it gets VERY hot..

    and like any chip... they are unstable when very hot...

    I got a blister from touching the lame heat sink used for its cooling... Im not joking it gets that hot..

    Im very suprise it has survived that long with that kind of heat..

    any ideas??

    attach a small 40mm fan to it? or point a fan at it?

    or maybe even the Antec SpotCool Fan if you can find one near you...

    i haven't actually seen any cooling specifically designed for it (apart from the stock looking heatsink from zalman) but maybe an active northbridge cooler would do the trick?
