I think the Epox 8K3A rocks. It overclocks really well, high voltages and all. It reads the in-die temp diode. And best of all, it's only $91 on Pricewatch.

depending on what chipset cooler you have... it may not mount on the 8k3a.. you want one where the cooler mounts from the corners cause otherwise the cpu block will block it

mine mounts to the holes i got it from dangerden... it doesn't fit on my ak31 and i doubt it will with the board you mentioned

at7, kx7, a7v333, k7v dragon, drv5, etc

why do you need to wc it anyway? just run a narrow hsf on it, the kt333 will handle huge fsb speeds

Yeah just stick an old socket7 or socket370 heatink on the north bridge no need for a fan thire will be enough air movement if u have proper case cooling.

hehe.. try this.. remove the nbridge fan from the heatsink. Put an 80mm fan on top of you vid card, facing the nbridge heatsink. Problem solved. I did the same to my GF3, only the 80mm fan is resting on top of my sound card, facing up into the GF3. (there are two empty slots b/n my sound and AGP card) I made 'feet' for the fan by taking zip ties and lacing them through the screw holes on the fan. If you put the fan on a table, it sits about a 1/2" off the table. If you put your hand next to the AGP card, you can feel the air rushing out from all around it. (I'm using panaflo L1A 80mm's.)

p.s. at 12v, you can hear them. At 5v, you can't, but your PC will crash. I'm going to use a rheostat, or perhaps wire it up to run at 7v... Eventually I'm going to w/c it!
