i have a vantec iceberq, but with no plug on the end, but i realised the stock abit cooler uses exactly the same type of fan, so then if i swap the fans over the iceberq will run from the 2pin header on the mobo

yeah those fans are as common as muck - even my old gf4 440mx uses the same fan lol

is there a place i can buy just the fan in the Uk then ?

Did the Abit fan die on you? I'd try to contact Abit directly, and see if they can send you a replacement, if so.

One thing I've done (but haven't mounted on as I'm watercooling the NB on my NF7-S), is modify an old i486/Pentium CPU HSF to fit on the NB. These are the old small square 50mm sinks. If you cut a couple fins off of two opposing corners, and then cut a slot from those two corners in towards the center of the sink (use the Abit NB cooler as a template, for know how far in towards the center to cut), it'll fit on the NF7 series NB. Use the OEM coolers mount pins. There's a 3 pin fan header just below the main ATX power socket you can plug a standard 50mm fan into, too....

If you're handy with a hacksaw (or similar), you'll wind up with something far better than that OEM cooler.... Plus, you ought to be able to find an old i486/Pentium HSF locally for next to (if not) nothing... Ask around at some local PC shops. They probably have one kicking around they'd give ya.

I'm borrowing a digi camera this afternoon for something else.... I'll take a quick pic of the one I made to show ya what I mean....

i already have a vantec iceberq but i want the fan from the stock abit cooler to shove in that as they both use the same fan,

u c my iceberq doesn't have a connector on the end, and my abit fan is damaged.


and james.miller, is there anywhere i could buy one of the fans in the UK?

You can easily replace the power plug of the iceberg fan with the abit fan, cut>splice>twist>shrink

but i don't like bodging things, and also the little metal clips inside the 2pin plug are ****ed, i sorta oppsed them with a soldering iron. before realising both the fans are EXACTLY the same only the abit one is 2pin

thats why i want a new abit one

LOL! Enjoy looking for one

click on ABIT gear, then chipset fans. It's the "ABIT Northbridge Chipset Fan(KT7/KR7A/KX7-333 & AT7/KD7/NF7)" and it's $4.99.

someone has already posted that, but as i say i need it to be in the UK!

excalibur ships global

but the carrage and tax duty will cost too much, i've e-mailed abit and they can sell me the fan for about £6
