Nice work! Love the gold tablecloth, BTW

The standard Thermalright HR-05 also fits on this board (but not the SLI), without any mods. However it likely will not fit with larger tower-type CPU heatsinks.

And uck, the stock TIM on this board is terrible! Replacing it with AS5 of Ceramique is almost a must.

I hear that...it's not really thermal paste, it's thermal PADS, which melt once they heat up. The big thing about it is I hate removing it, it has to be heated off or scratched off.

I have found that an evercool VC-RE will fit the Northbridge. I cut the heatpipe off of the PWM heatsink, about 1/4" from the fins, and soldered it back shut. I also put superglue on the edge of 4 BGA heatsinks, added AS Ceramique to the top PWM chips, and then glued the BGA sinks in place. Sounds horrible, works great.
