Fan replacements etc questions.

[wol]

Im planning to replace the ICE fan with a noiseblocker (on my SB75G2) and remove the fan grills, add gromitts etc etc etc....


I was wondering whether its advisable to do the Northbridge as well, especially if im thinking about overclocking as well. Would changing it for one of these:


(A Zalman NB32J)

be a bad idea?



Also does anyone know if those rubber gromett screw replacements will work if i keep the fan inside the case?


Thanks

I'd recommend the NB47 as it's got 30% more surface area.
If your system will be fully loaded then go for the S4 fan - quieter than stock with same temps.

The grommets works but are awkward to fit. Try it without them first. My S4 is fine without.

Thanks i was going to go for the S4 anyway, have you noticed the low RPM rattle at all?

will those zalman thingies work fit an SN45G and how difficult is fitting?

I have no problem with rattle with my S4, either at low or full speed...
