I installed the Iceberg on the Nb+Sb. Instead of using the given paste, I used some of the left-over AS5 from my hsf installation.
The removal of the heatsink wasn't really that hard. I just flipped the mobo over, and 'hairdry'ed it at the low heat setting for about 2 minutes.
Little 2 degree twists in counter/clock direction took most of the pink gum off. 99% isoprop + q-tips took off the rest.
I know that there are better nb coolers available for the deluxe, but I figured that the 92mm Tornado (that sits on the 900a) provides extra airflow to surrounding components.
I'll probably look into cooling for my 9800 pro in the future. I'm still looking into setups that won't overtake most of my pci slots.
I read a thread here on short-media, that addressed coolers, but it was inconclusive. I don't know if y'all chose the grey one over the gold one, or vice versa.
Any suggestions welcome.
[edit] After extensive reading on the topic, I've settled for Zalman's 80a + Zalman's 123fanbracket.

Thus concludes my first overclocking adventure.
Come back now, y'hear?
