nForce 4 chip cooler

[w0lf42]

I have a EVGA 133-K8-NF41 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 and the onboard fan is starting to go out.

Ideally, I'm looking for a fanless option to replace the fan on the nForce4 chip. The problem is that my Video card goes directly over it.

I'd be willing to replace it with another fan. However, the fan is currently the loudest component in my system and I'd like to find a silent solution.

Stays out of the way of the video card, and if you arent overclocking and have good airflow, you could probably run it passive.

When the fan on my EpoX 9NPA3ULTRA began to die, I replaced it with the Zalman fanless chipset cooler. It's fantastic. In fact, it does a better job than the stock sink/fan that was in there before. As a side bonus, it's fanless and perfectly quiet.

For $5, it's hard to beat. It will do more than enough in terms of cooling. I've got an OC'd rig, I'm often stressing my chipset and this thing has barely flinched. Get it. Now. Even if you're overclocking, you won't have to worry about putting a fan on there unless it's super hot in your house.
