Supplier: ThermaltakeManufacturer: Thermaltake Hands up how many people have replaced, disconnected or put up with a squeaky northbridge cooler on a motherboard. They only seem to last a few weeks and either conk out or become so noisy the only solution is to unplug. Motherboard manufacturers have a common mission to stick the ugliest, crappiest, piece of metal possible on top of the northbridge and then stick a 30dB fan on top and still call it a deluxe version. Not to mention the pink gloop that's liberally applied between chipset and heatsink to stop any possible transfer of heat. You think by now, manufacturers would have thought of all kinds of clever solutions to impress enthusiasts. The trouble is nobody cares about the Northbridge. It can bake at sixty degrees, burst into flames, just so long as the cpu is under 30 degrees at 10GHz. Well somebodys finally listened to the poor old plight of the Northbridge and come up with a proper solution. Enter the Thermaltake Extreme Spirit II Northbridge chipset cooler. It's mission, simple. To take your chipset to new levels of coolness and it's got a fancy blue light too!  Picture copyright of Thermaltake The Spec
