How much heat does a VIA NorthBridge usually give off? (non-DDR) say 30W?
Say 10-12 watts would be a good estimate. At 100 FSB those things can be passively cooled with tiny sinks and no TIM/paste at all. Even at 133 they can still be cooled by sinks that would probably overheat a 16w GeForce classic (which nearly always used paste BTW).

Anyone now if the card coolers linked above are 3/8 or 1/2 inch?
