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?!

Yep, you can usally remove the stock Heatsink/fan off the northbridge, give
it a good cleaning, and then install something like:

There is a link to an installation guide on that page to give you an idea of
whats involved.
