    I've always thought about adding an extra fan into my system, or replacing the current fans with more powerful ones. Has anybody done this before/

    I think K-tron has done it and the cost I think he mentioned was 600$.

    Yes I can toggle the fans to max with Fn+1, but the NB runs pretty hot, and I'd like to get active cooling on the entire mobo. There is an open vent for it.

    About northbridge cooling and modds, check my thread: HOW TO: Change the chipset heatsink on M57xRU

    With a proper cooper heatsink, you will not need active cooling on the NB...
