Greenbarr0n Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 The original Asus A8N Deluxe SLI, had a chipset-fan issue as well. The fan, after 2-3 months would start to whine and then a week later start to grind. After that if you hadn't RMA'd the fan you would be sending the MB back for chipset failure.I just replaced the fan for a friend, and found numerous accounts of that reported on the web. The new Deluxe fan was wider and not so enclosed iniside of heatsink fins. The new Asus A8n Premium has the heat pipe instead of a fan. Maybe that is the way to go. Has anyone found a compatible replacement for the DFI chipset fan? I Hit 62C today and rebooted in the middle of BF2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.N.U.Fragman Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 actually i have made one myself....... http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6577 mine is as far as i can tell the one that cost the least....but very impressive solutions by others.

ArcticSoldier Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 ok guys i've just taken the photos from the chipset fan i made. photos are pretty bad (camera phone) however you can see it doesnt take much work to do. http://members.optusnet.com.au/arcticfox/DFI/ some feedback would be nice. sorry for hijacking the thread temps are as follow using mbm5 and NF4 database Cool and Quiet enable @ 1Ghz 5x200 (2-2-5-2 mem=2.74v) CPU = 21 Degrees C VCORE = 1.07 PWMIC = 30 degrees C LTD = 1.18v CHIPSET = 27 degrees C CHIPSET = 1.49v CPU FAN = 1960rpm Cool and Quiet disabled @ 2.2Ghz 11x200 prime95 max heat/power Cpu = 34 degrees C Vcore = 1.4v PWMIC = 36 degrees C LTD = 1.18v Chipset = 29 degrees Chipset = 1.49c Cool and Quiet disabled @ 2.5Ghz 10x250 prime95 max heat/power (2.5-3-8-3 mem =2.74v 4xHTT) Cpu = 40 degrees C Vcore = 1.4v PWMIC = 39 degrees C LTD = 1.18v Chipset = 29 degrees, 33 degrees C max i've seen Chipset = 1.49c hopes that gives you guys a hint on how good the stock 9800pro HSF does on this DFI board. all i can say is that the stock DFI fan really needs to be redone to maximise heat transfer. what it reminds me of is the crystal orb from thermaltake that i used on my geforce3-200 and that was barely keeping cooler then the stock HSF it came with.

ArcticSoldier Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 just and update. put the chipset voltage to 1.7 to see if it helps with the oc. temps jump to 35 (chipset) idle at 2.6Ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Can I say, BRILLIANT! You may wanna start another post here to advertise this work so it could be sitckied. What did you do to feed power to the fan sicne the connectors are different?

What did you do to feed power to the fan sicne the connectors are different? i had a thread over at futuremark regarding this mod. my apologies to the thread maker for hijacking it. i used the spare 3pin and wired it to the 9800 hsf fan. dont need the third blue wire as you dont need the fan speed monitored. as for the holes, just inlarge it with a drill by 1mm then you can use the push pins from the original fan.

Teecee Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 most of nf4 boards chipsets run hot, and their location sucks, (had to order my watercooler for the chipset from italy as no us made one would fit under the graphics card) What chipset did you buy to WC it?

hht55555 Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 What chipset did you buy to WC it? Teecee, FYI If you looking for a water block this Lanparty Freezer may worth to look at: http://www.mips-computer.de/ Review link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Mips/DFIFreezer It works great on my SLI-DR. Warning, you need to order from Germany to ship to you. It's expensive. They only accept electronic wire fund. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
