I own a gigabyte 7VAXP ultra motherboard, and for a while now the
chipset fan has not been running. My brother also has a gigabyte
motherboard, and the chipset fan on his is not running either. Is
this normal? I have seen a few other posts regarding this, but they
reached indefinite conclusions. I took out my fan, and its completely
gummed up with crap, but my brothers works perfectly, yet still does
not run. Have they blown, or are they simply not meant to run unless
under very heavy strain? If they are broken, should I replace it with
another fan, or something else? Currently the fan is removed and the
heatsink is exposed. I presume that this is ok, since it will be
cooler than when the fan was on top not working (which it had been
for several months). I also removed the side of the case, just to
make sure it doesnt overheat. Could someone possibly answer a few of
my questions?
