OK, I've got a DFI LanParty UT nF4 SLI-D. The northbridge cooler is dying on me. It's not squeeling, but it is a constant RRRR-rrrr-RRRR-rrrr-RRRR-rrrr... you get the picture. It is running at 100% according to Everest and Speedfan, but my northbridge is sitting at 51 degrees.
It has to be the same height or less than the original one, as it sits right against my GFX card. Anyone know a decent replacement that won't cost an arm or a leg? Heck, I can't even afford a little toe right now, so it will have to be very, very cheap.
Additional question... should it completely fail, will the board shut down when it gets too hot, or will it just cook itself? Seems like it is supposed to shut down, but it has been a while since I had to deal with any n4 issues.
