Hello.
I am having a problem with one of the fans on my motherboard (not the CPU Fan or a case fan), that is making quite a lot of noise.
It is not over anything obvious and it is 40mm square.
Does anyone know what this fan might cool, and where I could get a new, quieter replacement.
On a seperate issue, I am thinking about replacing my CPU heatsink and Fan, but I can't seem to get the heatsink off the Motherboard. I don't want to damage either the motherboard or the CPU, so I have stopped trying to yank it off. Myself and a friend built the machine (it was my first build) and I can't remember how he put it on, or whether he told me how to take it off!
This is my first post on this board, and whilst I am not a technophobe by any stretch of the imagination, I am not 100% technofluent.
Any help/comments would be appreciated.
