The little fan (maybe 1.5" square) on my mobo chipset is failing, what's a good place to get a replacement? Is this something that a store like Fry's or Radio Shack would carry?

Do you just want to replace the fan or the heatsink too? I dont think the previous two posts knew what you were asking for... It may be beneficial to just replace the whole heatsink/fan combo. You could even get a Zalmon northbridge heatsink that does NOT require a fan at all and would cool better than most heatsink fan combos. Check svc for it!

thanks for the info. yeah I just want to replace the fan. it's an old Epox 8KHA+ so I don't want to spend much to keep it running until it's time for the Athlon 64 upgrade.

Thanks... seems to be ok for now, I took it off and cleaned some dust off, it's been running all day. I freaked out last night, the motor was making this awful whining sound and I thought it was coming from my hard drive. I immediately backed up all data :)
