Mobo fan making noises

30 seconds to find this

If its a motherboard like an Abit NF7-S, which has a specality fan for the North bridge, then A. You wouldnt be able to find an exact replacement. B. The 40-50mm fans that have been linked are of no use. C. You could send your entire motherboard in I believe, and just get a new fan fitted on it.

Or you could just choose the D option and buy something like this

Which would probably fit your motherboard, and cool better than the stock solution did.

I think this is an even better idea:

I dont know if there are any size constraints though, and that Vantec prodcut is a perfect replacement!

That zalman is good as well though.

Got one of those yesterday Going to be mounting it with AS ceramique, I think. Not sure about the paste the included with it.

I can find 40, 50 and 60 mm fans over here without a prob, ADDA or Papst fans.
