Yes, that is right, $#*$&# asus!!!! I will never buy one of your products again!!!!!
I came home to my chip set fan "taking flight" for the last time. It sounds like a freaking plane is landing in my bedroom. Being a computer engineer myself, I can't see (or spel) how you can design products, which require (hopefully) such an advanced engineering team, that would let slip such a POS chipset fan. I mean someone has to get fired over that decision.... SERIOUSLY! what a worthless motherboard. WHO are you holding accountable??? Hopefully it's not your "name" Thanks for the "your chipset fan is freaking exploding" error my motherboard gave me today. Atlaest it reports it's own downfall, that's respectable, yet ironic... ASUS can !*#!*#!# my !!*!*!**$$!*!*!*! If one of your most recent and competative motherboards display this kind of quality in design, how can you hope to be a "industry competator" in the future. Crash and burn ASUS!!! Poor Poor decision on your part. I hear you are even offering to replace it with the same fan. Yeah.. That makes it better... Losers. Get a grip on main stream business or be replaced by people who can easily avoid such awful business decisions....
 
NO! let's not!!! Lets focus on the quality of product ASUS brings to the marketplace. Sorry I am easily sidetracked... Long live the south!!!

Yes, let's continue this discussion that is bound to give others worthwhile information.... wait....
 
I kinda felt that way until I found out about the Zalman NB47J and how good it works. I bought that, installed it, bam, no more problems.
 
Let me get this straight - you're swearing off ASUS, and having an absolute heart attack, and you feel the undying need to bry and moan publicly on this forum because....

you chipset fan failed??? Are you serious?
 
you still havent given us 1 good reason why not to buy asus again. what u mentioned about was a flaw that happens on EVERY mobo maker. you just nubbed yourself, nub. :beer:
 
I've never had a problem with Asus boards, and will continue to buy them. The P4P800 in this system has been chugging along without a hitch for the last 2 years without a problem. It will continue to serve admirably until replaced by some sort of Asus NF4 model with dual core support.
 
Oh noes, I've had harddrives from every manufacturer die on me at one point or the other, they are all teh suck! OFGM ROFL LOLOL I'm so never going to evar buy anothwer harddrive from them evar again omfg!

DIE DIE DIE Maxtor, IBM, Seagate, WD, Fujitsu and Toshiba, burn in hell! omfg!
 
Asus boards are POS. I had 1 fail on me and 2 on my friends. Then I used P4C800-E from another friend to overclock his computer. It had the worst BIOS navigation system and options out of any motherboard I've ever used (besides like what you get from sony, dell, where the bios is locked basically). Even my ancient MSI KT3Ultra2 bios was worlds better; and there is no way I could even compare my Abit IS7 to that. The P4C got insane review ratings -- I had no idea why. Even in recent SLI roundups, their SLI board is like 3rd or 4th place. Yet Asus continues to charge a premium for their boards...They should be tier 3 manufacturer in my eyes -- their quality of products, overclocking options are simply not up to standards for the #1 motherboard maker company. I remember reading how their top of the line $200+ socket 775 P4 board was paired against Abit Fatal1ty, and in the review the MOSFETS got so hot they melted along with the CPU fan header.

Either way to solve your problem, just unplug the chipset fan for now. IF you get instability then get the Zalman heatsink or Thermtake/Thermalright products (NB-1).
 
I've had no problems with Asus but yeah the entire industry puts those lame chipset fans on mobo that cost $150+, it doesn't make sense at all.
 
The fan on my Gainward GF4 Ti 4200 failed. I'm never buying a Gainward product again!



The fan on my GigaByte GeForce 3 GTS made scary noises for a month then failed. Screw those guys. I'm not buying from GigaByte again, either.



The fan on my Thermaltake heatsink was too loud. How did the engineers let that slip???



The capacitors on my Shuttle SFF all died. Those people need to die, every last one of them. If they can't get quality caps, they don't deserve to live.



My 120mm EnerMax case fan is spinning 200 RPM slower because it's got a ton of dust caked on it. This is an obvious design flaw. Let's boycott EnerMax. Who's with me???



My LanParty UT board didn't come with a fan on the chipset. How could they have forgotten that? I will never support DFI again. Why can't they just put a nice fan on there? Are they morons? How stupid do you have to be to make an overclocking board with nothing but a crap heatsink over the northbridge???



I'm never buying another hard drive. WTF, can't anybody make a hard drive right?



The distributor on my Del Sol died when it got down to -15F this winter. I guess Honda only hires monkeys that just can't design something to last more than 12 years. Piss on those fools. My next car's going to be a Kia!



I think my hairline is receding. Next time I see my mom I'm going to hit her in the head with a brick for spawning a genetic freak. People like that need to have their tubes tied. Come on, who's with me?

***Raises hand***

Guys, don't feed the troll (OP) anymore...
 
Hey he does have a point. I would expect a chipset fan to last for a couple years of 24/7 operation. It not rocket science to put a good ball bearing fan in it at the factory, what do they use, sleeve bearings? And save 3 cents? And its not exactly a standard replacement part.
 
Lousy fans seem to be in fashion these days.

My GeForce 4 fan just started howling like a lone wolf...

The Zalman southbridge mountain is $4.99, problem solved.

Now, lets talk about the Linux drivers Asus provides for the K8N-E deluxe, there is room for bashing 🙂

its a workstation/home board not a server board.. expect server to be 24/7 and everything else to be standard 7/7 not 24/7
 
This is simply the result of cost cutting measures by all manufactures. Abit, DFI, Gigabyte, MSI to name a few have all had similar issues with chipset fans in the recent past. Hard to find a low sound 40mm fan that does a decent job of cooling and has good longevity, especially one that won't raise the price of the board too. The alternative is passive sinks and as evident by trying to O/C the current Gigabyte nForce 4 board, this just doesn't work well when you overclock.

My alternative was to put the chipset fan on my Zalamn controller on my A8N-E and on my DFI SLI board I went with a Panasonic/Panaflo 40mm fan but the 40mm fan is still the loudest thing in the case so I'll be buying another fan controller.

Back in the day, I bought an IS7 and a week later an IC7-Max III.......within 1 month I had to replace both chipset fans!
