My pc has started getting noisy over the past month. I'm pretty certain it's
the MOBO's NB fan... It seems to happen whenever the PC has been turned off
for a while and weirdly stops just about when the system has got into
windows.

Can I remove this safely? Is there a good way of replacing the HS and fan or
will it function well on its own?!

TIA...
