Heya, havent posted here in a bit, but then I havent used my PC for anything but gaming in a bit 
I have:
Abit NF7-S
Mobile Athlon 2500+ @ 11x166
2x512 Kingston HyperX PC3700
Enermax 365w PSU
Radeon 9600 Pro
Thermalright SLK-900u (the copper one) and Vantec Tornado for HS/F
(If you cant tell, this was the flavor of the month over a year ago.)
I woke up this morning to hearing the CPU fan feed variating somewhat.. it would run at usual speed, then slow down for a bit to a much quieter amount, and pick back up, This is with a fan speed controller keeping it very low. Ive turned the speed up just so that when it slows down, it still stays at an acceptable thresholde, but im going to go insane from the sound. Also I started playing WoW a month ago or so and experienced constant crashes and reboots untill I lowered the clock from 11x200 back down to 11x166. To me, this indicates it was a north bridge heat issue, as the NB fan also had made weird sounds but then eventually seemed to resolve itself.
Now its slowly starting to freeze up or reboot more if I try to do more than 2-3 things on this PC at a time.
Ive allready RMA'd the board once, as the NF7-S does have a characteristically ****** NB fan, but now its out of warranty.
Does anyone have any advice?
