Re: Chipset cooler
No, silly size and price. This is much better suited to the job

Re: Chipset cooler
Well thats the exact one I was looking at before also, but I think it will interfere with the SLI port. Ie if I bought a second GPU, or bought a double width card, it will get in the way. It's too tall.
People were also saying it doesn't cool brilliantly (still good tho) as the idle temps are about 40*C. I idle at 32*C with the stock fan (I'm upgrading because I have to flick the fan to start on each bootup). This looks a bit shorter: Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK |

Re: Chipset cooler
It got in the way of my GPU on one of my secondary PCs. 5 minutes with a hacksaw and it was fine. The problem with the second one is the reduced cooling capacity. Getting the one I suggested and modding it is probably the best route.
