Samurai Nightli Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 seems that just like so many others that own the ultra-D nF4 mobo, the chipset fan has gotten very VERY loud upon startup and just running normally. it has yet to lose any RPM's but im afraid to wait until it does. so it looks like i'll be buying an evercool vc-re to replace it with. oh how i do loathe taking the board out of the case and having to do actual work on it again lol.

Kandoo Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 I feel your pain but it's a good time to do a little house cleaning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken Joe Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 http://www.angrygames.com/chipset_clean-1.htm There are some good pics here just replace it with a aftermarket one. Note they usualy dont really falil just get dirty get mis allined or you just start getting sick of the noise and notice it more. A fan on it will often fix the problem but the aftermarket ones are cheap enough that it doesnt really hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Nightli Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 yeah, the evercool vc-re is the best to get from everything ive read and looked at. im gonna try cleaning it here today though and making sure its aligned and on tight, see if the noise goes down any.
