Flipchip.net has posted a review of the Vantec Chipset Cooler Bundle.

As you can see this kit is pretty well stocked when it comes to the variety needed for the various chipsets found on motherboards, video cards and the like. The kit as shipped provides everything that you will need to supply a heatsink to three chips of your choice, such as the Northbridge, Southbridge and the Video GPU if yours is lacking. The heatsinks are very similar to OEM heatsinks found on a lot of motherboards and video cards today.

With my main concern being the Northbridge, I first tried the black fan powered Cooler. Even though I knew that this wouldn't work, I attempted to attach it using the two-sided thermal tape that came in the pack but as figured, this proved to be utterly useless due to the rough surface of the VIA chip. Next I applied some of the thermal paste that came in the bundle and used the nylon pushpin type clips to fasten it. After relocating the thermal probe to a new location at the center of the cooler I booted it up and applied a generous helping of the Quake 3 demo loop for 15 minutes to warm things up a bit.
