I'm looking to get an aftermarket NB cooler for the nForce 570 Ultra chipset on my MSI K9N Platinum, as I've read many reviews about the grossly inadequate passive NB cooling that comes stock with the board. Will NB coolers for the nForce 4 series (such as the Thermalright HR-05) fit on the 5XX series chipsets? If not, then are there any good, quiet cooling solutions for these hot-running chipsets?
Edit;
The nForce 570 Ultra chipset on my board; there is a thermal pad next to it and the long, passive heatsink also covers this. Will a regular heatsink for nForce 4 fit this given that it has holes on diagonal ends of the chipset itself?

Ok, so since my CPU arrives tomorrow (newegg messed up, had to RMA), I made a temporary duct to cool the chipset
Ghetto solution for chipset cooling
So, any suggestions or confirmation that good NF4 coolers will fit? I'm looking at the Evercool VC-RE currently.
