Update - used a spare Northbridge cooler from a friend. Fitted it and it works a charm! A standard two pushpin chipset cooler works fine. Lowered the temps from idle 51C to 40C and load 65C to 45C. And without a fan now so it's completely silent. Now I have plenty of headroom for overclocking if i ever want too.

Almost a pointless experiment really but i'm pleased it worked!
