Replacement for fan on mobo?

[Shawk]

Hiya,

I have a case with 4 fans in it. I then have the CPU fan, 9800Pro stock fan
and two PSU fans. The loudest damn fan is the sodding small one on the
NF7-S(2) mobo! Now I 'could' put up with that but the thing is definitely
starting to make the kind of noise that leads me to believe it isn't long
for this PC. Can anyone advise what I can replace it with and also
(blushes) what it's called? (I've put lots of PC's together without yet
having the need to learn all the components).

Many thanks, Shaun

You are looking for a nf2 chipset cooler. The following looks promising,
but you should look for a less expensive model without a cooling fan. You
really don't need a cooling fan. -Dave

lubrificate it a bit with some grease (in the hole under brand
sticker) & run it on 7 or even 5V instead on 12 ...

if doesn´t wanna start at that lower voltages, there are some
schematics on my site uder electronics ...

Thanks all, have ordered the Zalman NB47J from Overclockers UK - taken with
the idea of no fan. Have oiled the current fan previously (sewing machine
oil) but I think its past that. Cheers, Shaun

Shame on you then.

But as for your fan, do you want a CPU fan, a chassis fan, a power
supply fan?

Take a look in your local computer shop if there's one around. Most
mom-n-pop places even stock decent fans.
