This is a very simple and effective way of cooling your chipset heatsink.

http://www.overclock.net/gallery/sho...7/ppuser/22952 I can't measure temps on my chipset effectively so I didn't bother. As I said this is a simple mod that can be done with just a fan and string. I am sure that you could even use an 80mm fan if you had the room on the motherboard.
