I need to replace the chipset fan on a Soyo KT-333 Dragon Ultra Platinum.
I measured the fan and it seems to be 35 mm from tip to tip of the fan.
I don't see anyone selling 35 mm fans.
Could I be measuring it wrong and so should I get a 40 mm fan which seems to be the standard for mobo chipsets?

Just put any fan on there that will fit. You can't find an exact replacement for most of the OEM chipset fans and most anything will work just fine.

I had that exact mobo years ago, it was great.

I'd just stick anything that would fit on it, most likely it is a 40mm fan. It doesn't have to be perfect. I'm running my chipset without a fan because it's way too loud and my CPU cooler does an excellent job of keeping the air flowing ove the heatsink.

thanks.
I ordered a 40mm 3 pin fan. If I have to I will just crazy glue it on.
