Dude, just lubricate it, then put it on a fan controller to slow it down.
That orb-type Abit NB fansink is actually better than almost all of the aftermarket NB heatsinks out there because it's quite hefty.
Peel back the sticker to expose the hub, drop a bit of 3-in-1 oil in there, restick the sticker, rescrew the fan onto the HS, then connect it through a Zalman Fanmate and run it at a slower speed. Voila.
HTH.
