Quiet/efficient northbridge chipset HSF?
I have an abit IS7 in an overclocked system, and I realized that the little chipset fan is the noisiest thing in the case. (two vantec stealth fans and artic cooling CPU and GPU fans).
Can anyone recommend a good/quiet chipset fan that will work with the IS7? Thanks.

Personally, I'm gonna go with a Zalman 7000 on my next CPU upgrade... you might wanna check into that brand for yours.
From what I've seen...everyone loves em' and they are supposed to be very quiet. EDIT: Ooops.. I just noticed that you said "Northbridge"... that might not apply there. Sorry.

I honest to God have gotten the 7$ CompUSA northbridge replacement for two boards and they are the best fans I have ever used.
