Hi
Saw a little about this in one of the other posts, how they can be noisy. Mine makes a hell of a noise recently, I assumed that theres nothign I can do about it, can these be replaced with quiet versions or just a HS? If so, where do I buy from and how exactly do i replace it?
Thanks
Falcon
these can be replaced with a passive zalman heatsink that actually cools better than the current 40mm screamer :)Quote:

As for cooling, the abit cooler is great, only reason it's rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish is because the northbridge is a banana, once you lap the surface of the northbridge using the abit cooler as a block and then apply some AS5 it's as good as any other cooler out there, but yeah, shame the fans is rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe.
I have a KD7-S, will it fit onto that? i really hope it will, that bloody fan is the loudest part of my case...lol
