How to cool the northbridge?

Question

Computers

What are the passive cooling options for the northbridge? It overheats a lot => the PC freezes tightly. For a long time I was looking for a solution to the problem of freezing the PC, after a couple of days I determined that the north bridge was overheating fiercely. There is no way to shove the radiator onto the bridge itself, because it costs fx8350, and this is a fierce stove, so there is a huge cooler. And it turns out that air flows bypass the north bridge, from the front cover to the blowing in, then to the process they go, then to blowing out from the rear cover. I changed the thermal paste, now I put some kind of Chinese one, even worse than kpt8, it helped for a couple of days, now it hangs again, tomorrow mx4 will arrive - I'll put it on. In general, this is a jamb of these chipsets (AMD970), they heat up too much without exception. I need some extra. cooling to definitely solve this problem. And passive cooling is needed, because due to the size of the cooler, the radiator will not physically fit on the bridge. I couldn't find anything suitable on google. We need some custom solution from someone who has experienced this. I can attach a picture of the case itself if needed.

Answer 1

Well, put a fan from the fix price))) But in fact, you need to put a couple of coolers in theory. But I don't understand. It just suddenly helps.

Answer 2

Well, there are only a couple of stupid decisions, like stuffing coolers to the maximum and putting a couple of fans (regular, on legs) in front of the case.
Change the body to a larger one (if possible, of course).
Remove the side wall and point the fan (on the leg) at the mother - right at the mother, so that the air blows away right away.
This, of course, is all wild ugly crutches - but suddenly it will help.

Answer 3

let's see the photo.
and in the first couple I support the idea of ​​replacing the hull with a larger one. the argument is simple - you can spend a decent amount on fans. because you always want to be quieter. and quiet valves and cost decently. so in the end, such experiments are about equal or almost similar in price to buying a new spacious case.
and the ratio of valves in the body - the exhaust must be greater than the inflow. this will create some kind of vacuum inside the case. and the lack of air on the intake will be pulled up independently from the slots of the body.
