Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll go with the suggestion made by
Boudewijn and try one of those Zalman passive heatsinks.

Cheers.

The Northbridge fan on my mobo has started making a kind of grinding

one of my hard drives as it sounded like when the bearings go and even
went
as far as buying a new one! Anyway, this mobo is only a couple of months
old
and I was wondering if this is an easy thing to fix or should I take it
back
to the shop?

I was told by my Dealer that the Fan problems were fixed, as my Last
Gigabyte
MoBo has similar problems, but I did get a replacement fan from the
Agents
here though..
