7N400Pro2 Rev.1-NOISY North Bridge Cooling Fan-Replacement Fan or OTHER (Passive Heat Sink???) WHERE?
http://www.quietpc.com might have something suitable.
Regards Mike "Hammer Toe" wrote in message ... Anyone know where I can get a replacement NB fan for this MB? *OR* care to recomend an alternative solution??? I seem to recall reading/hearing that there are fanless/passive heatsink solutions 'out there'? Anyone know who makes something suitable/where I might consider buying something? Also-anyone had any HANDS-ON experience with such an alternative? Did they work well? Any trouble doing the CHANGE? (Eg. removing the old heat sink)? TIA! |

If your mother isnt brand new, and the fan has only just started becoming
noisy then before you do anything rash, try giving it a blast from a can of compressed air. If that does the trick (you fan noise drops) then consider adding some kind of filter to your PC's case. CrimsonLiar PS: I wonder what the record for dust build up in a PC is, the worst I've seen is about 4cms spread evenly over the motherboard in a desktop PC, it came in for a service because it kept crashing (I wonder why)...

My 7VAXP has been doing this for over a year. I note it does it more if the
room is cold. When it warms up it stops. I just live with it; it is still going OK. "Hammer Toe" wrote in message ...
