Need new hs/f?

[de8212]

I currently have a volcano 7 hs/f on my amd 1600. The fan is starting to make a strange sound so I might need to go ahead and replace it. Any recommendations? I do not overclock so I don't need some $50.00 hs/f.
I also have a couple of panaflo 80mm fans I guess I could just replace the fan with. ANyone done this?

If you are happy with the HSF, just replace the fan. I think your panaflo would fit. If it fits and your temp is fine, go ahead.

Replace it with a GC68 from SVC.

Well, now that I have had time to look into this, it's actually the small fan on my chipset. Where can I get a new one?
Mobo is an epox 8kha+

Just replace the fan with an Antec LED fan so that it looks cool!

How do you like the SVC GC-68? I have one on my Duron 1200 and I get these temps: Idle:40-42C Working: 42-45C cpuBURN: 50C . I have one exhaust fan.

Chipset fans are pointless- marketing fluff. If there's much of a sink at all under there, just discard the fan. Or get a Zalman zmnb32 or zmnb32j northbridge heatsink. Never mess with it again.
