Micro Cool NorthPole XE Whisper Cooler

When enthusiasts and overclockers are looking to upgrade their cooling
solutions, priority is given to the CPU cooler and quite often the Northbridge
is overlooked. The Northbridge chip is a vital part of a computers operation.
It is responsible for managing the RAM, CPU, AGP, and in some platforms, the
on-board audio data transfer. In doing so it generates a fair amount of heat,
which as we all know is bad. Heat will shorten the life expectancy of any
device, and can cause system instability, even in the average users computer.
Heat is even more of a problem for overclockers, and dissipating it is an
ongoing quest for the quietest most efficient products
