I just happened to have an ancient Socket 5 HSF lying around that seems to work on my ECS P4 mobo's north bridge with a little thermal epoxy/paste mixture. helluva lot better than the passive heatsink that was there before, I would think. Any thoughts?

I attached an old fan to the top of my northbridge heatsink and used the fan control from the 7+ so I could make it go heh... It works very well, dropped temp down about 8 degree's C by adding the fan.
