nForce 590 Cooler

I'm using the reference 590 SLi board from Evga, excellent so far. Problem is with the chipsets positioning in regards to cooling.



Foxconn board in the picture, but they're both the same reference board from nVidia. Its right up under the first PCI-E slot, and my 8800 completely covers it. Still cools fine as it was designed to handle this, the copper fins blowing out towards the sides. The chipset hovers around 45-50 degrees in the BIOS though, so I'm wondering if there is a cooler out there that can replace the stock one and drop temps. With the cooler jammed right up under the video card and between the LEDs and RAM, I'm not sure what can possibly fit there.

The Thermalright HR-05 SLI and the HR-05 SLI IFX are two popular options for people who in situations like yours.

Indeed. I actually have an HR-05 that hasn't even been used yet. I thought I was going to use it for something but never got around to it. I'll sell it off to you, just PM me if you're interested...

Nice recommendations. I would recommend both of them also.
