I am planning on putting an old speeze CPU heatsink (w/ NO fan) on my ABIT NF7-S REV2.0's north bridge. I also plan on vdd modding it at least a little bit in the future. Many people lap their NB 'cause it's so "unflat". I'm thinking about doing it but I dunno if it's worth the risk. I don't care that it would not let me RMA, I just would like to know if there will be any noticable difference in overclocking/longevity of the board (cooler is better). What do you think should I do it? I would be willing to do it if it would add 2mhz to my max stable FSB, or keep the northbridge 5-10C cooler.

Hmm.... Give me your thoughts! Please.
