FP-IN9 - mounting a fan on the NB?

[JustinB]

This is probably a remarkably silly question, but I've never attempted any sort of modifications at all, so... how do I go about mounting a cooling fan on the northbridge of my FP-IN9?

Thanks!

Hi There,

Put a 40x40mm FAN on the N.B and connect the 3PIN on the SYS FAN of the motherboard.

Enter on BIOS and configure ABITEQ to load SYS FAN when the CPU is HOT. Just select CPU on the AbitEQ, on the BIOS.

That it, when the CPU is hot the Sys fan will spin at aroud 4k RPM. When the CPU is cold the RPM drops to 2k, making the FAN very silent.

See ya
