Replacing chipset fan
Hello,
I have an epox 9npa+ Ultra mobo. The chipset fan has been making a terrible noise for a while now and I would like to replace it. Where should I go to find a decent replacement fan? Thanks |

If the motherboard isn't too old you should contact EPoX for a replacement under warranty.

When I choose the compatability for northbridge and southbridge on the newegg dropdown menu I get four results to choose from. Am I doing this right?
Do you think epox will make me send the whole board back? Or will they just send me a new fan? thanks again |

Most likely a new fan - that would be the cheapest option.

if your looking to upgrade the whole heatsink and fan...look for the Thermalright NB-1...
You can search the case modding stores in the cases and cooling forum under this and find a good selection of fans...

If that is a original heatsink and fan on that chip, make sure if you replace it keep the original for warraynty purposes.. I tried to turn in a bad AMD chip once and because I had another other than the original one installed it voided the warranty...
