evga Hardware 680i Southbridge Fan

Arcane · 14 Mar 2007 at 19:31

I can't get hold of one of the official ones they've released anywhere, OCUK aren't planning to stock them and evga don't ship to the uk, can anyone recommend an alternative quiet southbridge fan for the evga 680i that'll fit without modding and still leave the graphics card slot usable?

Thanks

Don't bother, they don't get hot anyways.

Vantec Iceberg4 vga/chipset fits.

Thanks W3bbo...is it a straight fit?

Hi
w3bbo is right it was on the evga forums about the vantec vga fan fitting the southbridge.It's the same fan as the evga so no modding needed.

Them everglide Titans really are as big as the reports say then Clone

This is mine fitted with an iceberg 4, which was a straight fit - no modding.

I now have an iceberg 5 which DID need modding - not much, just a little grinding so it dosn't know against the 2 capacitors - a couple of minutes with the dremel sorted it. I bought the iceberg 5 as the 4's were out of stock (sold my iceberg 4 along with my old watercooling kit to another 680i owner).

New one lights up blue.....which is nice
