Does anyone have any experience replacing this little fan? Is it needed?
Can I just unplug it?
Thanks,

The noisiest fan in my computer is the northbridge fan on my Asus A7V266-E.
Think I should just buy a VGA heatsink and glue it on there instead?

Mine was squeaky so I called up Asus. They mailed me a new one with noBoff said:I recently removed the fan, lubricated it, and re-installed it on the exact
same mobo. Was squeaky, now is quiet. Never tried removing it and
monitoring temperatures though.

no questions asked. Guess it's a well documented prob.
I'm still trying to figure out if it's needed at all.

board at stock speeds and voltages, the passive heatsink is enough.
