Lots of threads in here already about the A8N-SLI Deluxe fan. There are quite a few people (including myself) that have moved to the NB47J fanless solution. The fans on the A8N-SLI Deluxe are pretty notorious for being loud/failing.

I read on forums somewhere that ASUS replaces the dead fan with a new one, which is rhombus like shaped. Its supposed to be quiter and cooler... should I go for that, or the NB-47? Im also considering the vantec chipset cooler...http://www.vantecusa.com/product-cooling.html# CCB-A1C
