pitonyak > I LOVE this Antec case. The hard drives and the power supply are on the bottom (see right) so that their heat stays away from the CPU and other items. The CPU is on the left with two additional fans pulling air over the CPU and my 4GB of Crucial memory.
pitonyak > After installation into the computer. The video card is in front of the CPU; there is plenty of room to spare.
pitonyak > The screws holding the new fan from the back. The black pins used to stick out here.
pitonyak > The fan is held very nicely in place. My north bridge chip hovers around 78 to 82 degrees Farenheit. In comparison, my CPU is around 84, the MB 95, and my graphics chip around 113. These numbers go up if I stress the system. I purchased this Extreme Spirit II Universal Northbridge Chipset Copper Heatpipe Cooler for about $25 from Microcenter. Mfr Part #: CL-C0034

pitonyak > The fan faces my video card (not installed) because it provides more clearance between the heat-sink and the video card. I purchased this Extreme Spirit II Universal Northbridge Chipset Copper Heatpipe Cooler for about $25 from Microcenter. Mfr Part #: CL-C0034
pitonyak > I used arctic silver after cleaning the chip with acetone and 100% alcohol (I did not get any on the non-chip portions). You will probably just use the compound included with your heat-sink. Notice that screws now protrude through the motherboard where the black plastic tabs used to be. Also note that I used the orange/red insulators on front and back (as per the instructions). BONUS: Now I can replace the fan without removing the motherboard from the case.
The clip contains a spring, I compress the spring here using my fingernails.
