I read a review on the Micro Cool NorthPole Northbridge Cooler Set over at <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.modthebox.com/index.shtml">MODTHEBOX</a> recently and it performed very well.

Keep in mind though, that with their manufacturing process you should probably lap the base of the NorthPole. It has some pretty deep IMO grooves in the base. that's why I haven't installed mine yet. The Crystal Orb won't fit the NF7 unless you plan on making it a permanent fixture (epoxy) because the mounting holes are not aligned with the motherboard.

The Crystal Orb can be used as a Northbridge, or a GPU cooler.
