Default P5N-E SLI Southbridge heatsink?

Has anyone found it helpful to install a chipset cooler on the
Southbridge chip? Obviously, ASUS does not think it is necessary
except they provide holes on the mainboard to mount a heatsink. Is
this only for overclocking? Will a passive Northbridge aluminum
chipset cooler work in this application?

Dunno if it's helpful, but on mine, after I gave it the finger test, I
immediately stuck a small passive heatsink on it.
It can't hurt.
