Are you talking about the cooling fan on the chipset(northbridge ?) or the actual CPU fan. If it`s the chipset fan then I disconnected mine when it got really noisy about a year ago and it has had no ill effects as long as you are not overclocking. |

Sorry, I miss-typed "chipset fan" in my original post. :-/ If it`s the chipset fan then I disconnected mine when it got really noisy about a year ago and it has had no ill effects as long as you are not overclocking. Well this one gets too hot then reboots the system when the fan stops but if it's kept running all is well. And it's not overclocked, it's an XP1600+ running at 1.4GHz. Cheers, Mike. |

I've got a couple of old 486 coolers, but if you look at the pic in that URL, you'll notice the mounting screws are much different and there's even a kind of spring-loaded arrangement on the original.

Replacement CPU fan
