IS7 chipset fan dying, replacement?

[UILanMan]

The northbridge fan on my IS7 is slowly going out, but as I looked at it, I'm not too familiar with the mounting type. One of the replacement kits I ordered won't work, as there aren't holes in the right places on the board (oops, -1 for not taking time out of my busy schedule to do the research). I was hoping I could save myself some time by seeing if anyone here has replaced theirs, and find out what you got? Thanks so much for your help!

I'm a big fan of Zalman Northbridge HSF's - they're noiseless (no fan) and cool better than the stock cooling usually. I've got one on the northbridge on my IC7 and my northbridge HSF was working fine when I replaced it (trying to keep noise as low as possible).

This one is the model ZM-NB47J; they also have a smaller ZM-NB32J (I prefer the big one personally).

Quick question...I have an IC7-Max3, and there are no mounting holes around the northbridge. The pictures I've seen of the regular IC7 seem to indicate that it is the same -- so how did you use the Zalman HSF?
