GA-7VAXP rev 1.1 noisy northbridge fan, do I really need it?
The original 40 mm NB fan went out 16 months ago, put in a replacement
one, now it is very noisy. Is there an alternative to the fan, a larger heat sink or something? Robert Butler

GA-7VAXP rev 1.1 noisy northbridge fan, do I really need it?
This looks like a good solution, but the ad says it can only be used on
northbridges that do not have a built in graphics chipset. How can I determine if my VIA KT400 chipset qualifies? Thanks!

The VIA KT400 is an AGP8x chipset but it doesn't have onboard graphics processing. I assume you probably have either an AGP or PCI graphics card, right? Any of the Zalman heat sinks should work OK in this application.

Yes, I have an AGP video card. Thanks for the help, I'm going to order
the heatsink tonight. Travis Jordan wrote: Robert Butler wrote: This looks like a good solution, but the ad says it can only be used on northbridges that do not have a built in graphics chipset.
