Need A New Mobo Fan for the chipset


Recommended Posts

So, my computer was getting a bit dusty. I decided to can-air spray the dust out. was too lazy at the time to unplug everything and do it like I normally do, and the computer was on.

 

I went spraying, and in the process, I think screwed up the Fan that cools the chipset. It doesnt spin very fast, so I am kind of afraid of overheating.

 

Where can I get a fan or even the stock fan to replace it?

 

The setup is what is in my sig (Changing sig to show that it is what I have now)

The proper replacement is the Evercool-VC-RE but if you really want to cool something you go with the Thermalright HR-05-SLI This is the best cooler I ever owned and you can run it completely without any fans! :)

 

EDIT: Here is another post with a pic from my rig!

 

i can get the thermalright. can it be mounted in any direction? my video card goes right over the fan....and in one direction, is a huge CPU fan

If you mount it like I did you shouldn't have any problems! As a matter of fact on a SLI-DR mobo you maybe able to install it behind the GPU because the chipset is placed a bit closer towards the CPU!
