Default Chipset cooling

Hey, I am kind of new to the idea of water-cooling, but is water cooling the chipset really necessary? I am going to any way to help get heat away from my computer, but I am just interested in what the real experts think. Also, on motherboards manufactured by Intel, they have a heatsink over the Northbridge chipset. The heatsink seems to be held in place with four bolts that have been soldered in place in the other side of the motherboard PCB. Any ideas on how to remove this kind of heatsink, and leave the holes open for mounting hardware?
