ASUS A8N-E Mobo Cooling........

Hi all, just fitted my new CPU fan and 8cm exhaust case fans, both are Silent spec, can t believe how much quiter the thing is. While fitting, I decide todisconnect both the CPU and exhaust fan to see how much noise teh mobo chipset fan was giving off. I can catagoricaly state its "well" loud, giving off most noise by far! Mind you it is running at 6250rpms.

So next on my to-do list is a chipset fan, my only problem being, where and what sort should I get? I've never heard of chaging chipset fans as they seem integerated, although on closer inspection at the mobo it does seem possible to maybe get it off.

Doe anyone have any experisence in these matters, if so I'd apprecaite any advice.

Cheers

Check out the thermalright chipset heatsink and then put a better and quiet 40mm fan on it. or you can just get a passive Zalman.

Thanks Iceman, looks like its the Zalman.

Have fun. I love mine.
I like how the placement of the chipset is not relatively near and block the gfx card (compared to other mobos).

my chipset HS gets HOT..like u cant even touch it..its crazy

well then it's working. just get some airflow over it. my cnps7000-cu with the tri-blade delta blows a lot of air over it so i don't think i need to replace it.
