Well, my computer randomly started making a horrendous loud buzzing sound today, and to my surprise, the chipset fan on my a8n-e was going bezerk. I removed it and want to replace it.
I've never dealt with chipset cooling, so I need some help. A lot of the coolers I looked at are passive, and I'm not sure that this is adequate. I already have a tube of AS5 so thermal paste isnt an issue, I just need something to cool the chipset.
What price range should I be considering? Do I need a fan?
