Here is a very nice north-bridge cooler made of cooper from Logisys Computer it is call the CC8 Copper Heat-sink. It fits perfectly fine in my P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard and does the job very well, before I had an improvise water-cooling system on the bridge that was an overkill, plus water is not very welcome in my computer builds. In case you may have an ASUS P6tDeluxe this is very value information, yes you can still use the PCIe slot next to the bridge, you may enconter some problems with your CPU heat-sink getting in the way but as you can see in my pictures I manage to get away with the position I use and even better the CPU fan also cools the CC8. One thing is also important here, If you have a flag ship video card like mine and the room temperature is some what hot some of the heat from the GPU may heat up a little the bridge. My solution was to move the GPU to the other PCIe slot and upped my sound card. Although I can put the sound card in the 1x slot next to the bridge I didn't have to and it may cut some airflow to to the CC8. Also putting the sound card right next between the CC8 and the GPU may overheat the sound card but not with the GPU far away. And one final note is that I did not use the included plastic retention clips, instead I use the original screws from the older heat-sink but go easy when using screws a gentle twist is more than enough to secure the CC8.
Here is the final setup.
Lots of picture sorry but that's not bad really. unless you have a 56k.
Here I want to show some picture of this nice bridge heat-sink. I will add up some information soon about this nice mini cooler.
