chipset cooling [solved]

Ok so this is why i need it...
my freind needed help with his comp. of course i had to say yes... bad to say no to a freind, he wanted me to add a new CPU heatsink+fan in because he was afraid to, and didnt realy know how. so when i opened the case i saw how sad this mobo was... at max holds 2 gb ram only 2 sata ports AND NO HEATSINK OVER CHIPSET! i was amazed... this think gets realy hot and theres NO protection, when i told him he had to idea what it was, and didnt care. luckly for him i do, read below...

Ok so iono if i named it right, but its a little chip on a mother board, its located here:

Some mobos have a little heatsink over it but this one doesnt.

is there any way i can tack a mini HS on or would that be bad? or is there any other way of cooling besides heatsinks and fans that could fit there?

if the system is stable and you can keep you finger on the chip for a few seconds then it should be fine. some chips are designed to get hot without the need for a heatsink. if you want to put a heatsink on it, aint wont harm it, just make sure you put thermal paste on.
