Better heatsink for an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe?

Just curious if anyone has removed the northbridge heatsink. I would prefer active cooling personally and have ordered the copper Vantec Iceberg to add to the southbridge chipset as it's bare. Plan to OC heavily with this board. Airflow isn't a problem and the Northbridge passive heatsink will more than likely work just fine. Anyone have any reccomendations/suggestions for a better active heatsink/fan for the northbridge? Would the copper Vantec Iceberg work well enough for the northbridge? Seems a little weak @ only 3.5 CFM.

Anything is better than the standard affair, a Northbridge cooling upgrade is essential if you want decent O\C results. Anything with a fan would be a major improvement.

Thanks Strawbs. I'm thinking about a Blue Orb cooler. Looks like it'll fit and moves a little over 12CFM. I can always mount it with AS adhesive if the push-pins don't line up correctly.
