I have a 8RDA+, and it is suspected that part of the problem with it is that the chipset is too hot (the heatsink that is on it will instantly burn your skin if touched ... I have a nasty blister to prove it). The heatsink on it now is all aluminum and about 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.0" high, and circular in design. It is ugly, as well.

I'm thinking about a Vantec Iceberg COPPER chipset cooler combined with some AS3 luvin' to take care of the heat. Do any of you have any recommendations of better solutions? I have no experience with chipset fans and would appreciate your help.
