my mobo chipset fan is almost reachin its end of life. kuku corbell (msi distributor) replaced my half-dead fan wif another half-dead fan from another user who rma for e same reason. wtf! they say e fan not in production liao. at that time, e replacement fan was slightly better den mine. so i agreed to change. if e fan stalls, jus gif it a tap n it'd spin back to life. until one day, my comp hang due to overheatin.


made my way down to slt. so hard to find e correct dimension. i cant simply replace e whole thing unless i get one wif e exact dimensions cos if not it'll block e graphics card. after walkin into almost every shop, finally found one which sells 35mm fan.




but some work has to b done. had to cut off e fan housing n stick it directly to e heatsink cos it couldnt fit into e old fan holder. e new fan is slightly noisier cos it has a higher speed. which is good. more airflow to cool e rather hot chipset wif a pathetically small heatsink.
