No idea...
You have several options: 1. replace the fan as you propose. 2. Get a zalman nb32j northbridge cooler as many do, 3. Remove the noisy fan as some do - in average climates the fan is not actually needed (if at all). The asus 875 equiv motherboards have an ample heatsink instead. 4. Lube the fan motor, 5. Cut off the connector from the stuffed fan and splice it on to the papst with some heatshrink which can be purchased almost anywhere. 6. get GB to supply a replacement and do us all a favour in doing so: send them the message that crud NB fans are not acceptable. - Tim "Lyle Rhodes" wrote in message ...

It not worth it but I have bought a Molex plug that has fan leads out from Electronic suppliers. Still have it but cannot find use for it now. It won't cost much, just the trouble find it within 1000s of parts in electronic shops or catalogues. So get Giga to fix it!! Many thanks LR |

On that note, what does "VCC" stand for?...it's one of the two pins on the
Northbridge fan connector. I also assumed it was 3 pin, with fan RPM detection?, it's one of the reasons i bought the Northpole as it will show me fan RPM when i connect it to the SYS_Fan connector on the motherboard.
