I got this one on my A7V133 mb. Totally noise-free, plus temps aren't higher than with the former 40mm fan. I even get a 2-3 C improvement. Nothing to write home about... But for less than $10, it's a deal. The Zalman NB32(J) are cheaper too. Of course, they may not cool as well as fans, but it's a matter of choice.

Or else just remove the sticker on the non-rotating fan hub, to expose the bearing, and put a drop of 3-in-1 oil in there. That should give it a bit more life.
