need new northbridge fan for ABIT KV7 board

[Liam]

I have an ABIT KV7 mobo and the northbridge fan has gone out.
I've been looking around for a replacement, and can't find an online
store that sells them.
Then I found this link:

and this seems to say you CAN'T buy a replacement fan for it!
Can anyone clue me into a way I might be able to replace the fan?
We really can't afford a whole new mobo for the sake of a fan.
Thanks!
Liam

Contact Abit and they will direct you to an online store that sells the
fans. I can't remeber the url. Personally, I would buy a Zalman
northbridge heatsink then you won't need the fan.

Yeah, found that site at:
http://www.abit-usa.com/abitparts/chipset_fan.php
unfortunately it's discontinued.
That 9th fan looks like it might fit, but there's no way to know for
sure.
I've tried to get a sales rep to contact me... we'll see.
Thanks,
Liam

check out the zalman product...I'm using one on a ga-7va board after the
board was replaced due to dead fannage in the first week, and I didn't
feel like replacing it when the second fan died.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
