A8N-SLI 40 to 60mm adapter for chipset fan

No, but I put on the Zalman passive chipset cooler instead...to get rid of this 9000rpm bastard 😉
This one...
Even cheaper than the adaptor 😛

Hmm, so that worked for you? I have such a setup on my NF7, but didn't think it would work as well for the hot nforce4.

On the other hand, the adapter might be better from the standpoint that it would be easily reversible in case the board ever needed to go in for an RMA(or, at least, that's the way it looks to me -- I don't have any first-hand experience)
 
The RMA guy would see the scratched screws, but he won't smell my AS5 when I put on back the stock one 😛
With the Tsunami case I have the intake fan blowing at it and the Zalman VGA cooler...works fine...maybe even better than the small dafault heatsink, as this has no fins in the middle, where the chipset core is underneath... 😀
 
I am using the ZM-NB47J with a Zalman CPU fan bracket attached to the HD cage with a 92mm fan blowing on the ZM-NB47J, even without that the Zalman fan bracket the ZM-NB47J got warm to the touch but the computer never got unstable.
 
With this fan,it should be very quit and I thing 12 CFM is more than the original fan (does anyone no what are the spec of the original fan?)
Vantec Stealth 60mm Cooling Fan with Double Ball Bearing - Silent
Model Number: SF6025L
Fan Size: 60x60x25mm
Voltage: 12 V
Current: 0.08 Amp
Airflow: 12CFM
Power: 0.96 W
Noise: 20 dBA
Speed: 2600 RPM
Bearing: 2 Ball Bearings

My only concern is will it fit because my video card is about 20mm from the original fan.
 
Eureka

The best thing to do that

I did and it's great

With prime95 at the maximum power and heat sonsumption probe read 32c for motherboard and 44 for cpu ....great instalation after 24 hours

The only thing I did it's to remove the 4 srews of the chipset fan and enlarge a litle bit the heatsink to put case screws for the 40 to 60 adapter 10 minutes no motherboard removing and 20$ .very good result. 12 cfm and 20dba what do you want....

P.S. does the probe reading of MB temperatue is the chipset one ?????

Now that's something I would like to know, too...or is it the ambient temp...?

...being 36C most of the time...

With my Leadtek 9800gt there is no space above the chipset...for anything...

that's why i connected the chipset plug to the front mobo chas fan plug (q-fan controlled) and the case fan on the chipset plug...
 
Great timing this thread is....

I have a very noisy Chip Set Fan, and would rather just replace it with the original equipment!

New Egg is very poor with regard to customer satisfaction, so I am not going to even try an RMA return.....

ASUS rather than ship me a new chipset fan, said call the sellor for an RMA....not.....

NEWEGG Stuck me with two ASUS EN6800 PCIe cards, and although they work, SLI does not work! Interference, scattering of image.....

Anyway, I'll try the Zalman!

Now, the question, do I simply pull on the two black pins holding the chipset cooling fan in place? Or do I have to pull the motherboard out and unscrew something?

Thanks

Mike
 
Sorry man, one-way plastic pins 😉
Board removal required...unless you are able to cut them and the lower part will drop behind the board...

Oh, and welcome to AT... :beer:
