Installing a Northbridge Fan

[belash]

I want to install a fan on my Northbridge chipset on my MSI K7 Master 6341 motherboard. Any recommendations on a fan, heatsink fan combo, or other alternatives? The system came with a heatsink and is installed onto the mobo with two plastic push pins. I am rather leery about moving those plastic push pins without damaging the mobo. Any safety tips when removing/installing them? Thanks.

Removing the pins is actually quite easily done. Just use caution while removing them.

I use a pair of small Needle Nose Pliers to remove the pins, obviously it must be done from the back side of the board...I just move slowly when im that close to the Mobo, and squeeze the pin housing...and pull the pin out from the front...done...Dont try this when your deprived of Caffine!!..lol..its easy to do..just be careful, thats it...have fun
