With what have you replaced your ASUS A7V133 fan?? (and where can i get it)

[GCJ]

Hi folks:

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THE CRAPPY FAN THAT COMES ON THE NORTHBRIDGE OF MY ASUS A7V133!!!!!

I was thinking of simply pulling out but i'v eread on the forum that it may overheat and cause stability issues....

which have been your experiences? Have you just pulled of the sucker and left it like that or have you used a replacement fan or heatsink??

If you have used a replacement fan/heatsink, where have you got it??

Thanks!!

IT MAKES SO MUCH NOISE YOU CAN HEAR IT TWENTY FEET AWAY!!!!!!

I've taken it out and cleaned it three times now. the sucker works quietly for one week and then starts again with this awful noise. I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE !!!! :|

Sorry but i had to get this out of my chest

anyone?

Yea, is anoyng that ASUS missed on that!, I just read that the A7V266-E got a noice fan too. Mine only screams on winters, for a minute, real loud, but after that it gets back to silence.

Replace it w/ a blue ORB.

has anyone taken it out and didn't put a heatsink or a fan for replacement???

If so, have you run into any stability issues??

I don't plan to overclock my system for now.....

Thanks!

I just unplugged it.
No overclocking and no lock ups.

Some form of cooling is needed for stability...at least a HS. The NB tend to get very hot. But at rated speed u might not have any issues but dun quote me on this.
