Easily add extra cooling and color to your desktop with the Cooler Master Blue Ice Motherboard Northbridge heatsink and fan assembly. Adding a cooler for your Northbridge helps reduce overall temperatures inside your case, increasing performance while eliminating the need for your other fans to work harder to cool your motherboard.
No tools are needed for attaching the copper heatsink to your motherboard; just a simple adhesive fastener is used. The assembly's aluminum extrusion fins draw heat away from the Northbridge, while the 40mm, 4,500rpm fan on top of the fins blows the heat out to your other system fans.
Simply install the assembly, connect it to your motherboard's standard 3-pin fan connector and it's ready to go. Plus, three blue LEDs add a little extra color case's interior, perfect for those with see-through side panels.
Pure Copper DesignPure, high-density copper maximizes heat absorption and transfer for amazing cooling abilities.
Blue Fan LEDsThree blue LEDs provide brilliant illumination while the fan is in operation for eye-catching fun.
Comments: I just replaced my chip fan with this one. I did not use the fins it came with so I do not know about the stickiness problem. The fan simply screwed right onto my existing fins. I did not have any trouble at all (I did not have to drill out the fins in order to make the screws fit. They were a littel tight but they did work with not much torque. The fan plugged right into the 3-pin MB outlet and works fine as far as I can tell. I would purchase this again. The sticky pad does seem to be a little lacking when i peeled off a corner and touched it--but i did not use it.
