My brothers system has a NF4 SLI-DR board, and the chipset heatsink i think is starting to go its making wierd noises and its not running smooth almost like a rattle. I think its starting to go.
The only problem is with the Northbridge it sits right next to the PCI-E slot so the 8800GTS litteraly is sitting directly overtop of the fan so if i get a new chipset HSF it has to be a small one, no bigger then whats already on it. I checked newegg but they dont have anything cept a HSF which you cant control the fan speed with and is said to be noisy. Petra's has one but its out of stock.
Anyone know any other places i could look ? Or have a fan in thought that i could use
I know this picture doesnt really show the fan well but this is whats on the board right now, you can see how small im talking in height
