Mounting an cpu cooler on the northbridge, how?

[opera936]

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-10222.html I have an p4 1.5ghz cpu cooler and my northbridge runs pretty hot(as hot as my cpu). I read the thread from the other forum, but i don't know how to perform these steps. The drilling method is not possilbe for me cuz i think the base is too thick(1-3") to drill. Can anyone give me instruction on the safest way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated

A friend of mine that is a computer tech put a little fan on all the HS on all his N bridge motherboards. He has told me that the MB that don't come with a HS he finds one and hot glue it to the chip set,as in the stuff you get at the hobby store.

Hot glue??? If you want something more efficient, get some thermal adhesive (that's thermal compound that glues). A CPU cooler might be big though.

EDIT: Here's an exemple: Artic Silver Thermal Adhesive

yeah.... Hot glue is thermally very nonconductive. PCChips/ECS boards a while back used double sided tape to attach the chipset HS; I had one of those boards. Very unstable, would hard freeze after being left on overnight in Win98. Hot glue is about as thermally conductive as double sided tape.
