IC7 NB Fan on it's way out looking for a replacement.

As subject the northbridge fan on my IC7 motherboard is on it's way out. Are there any easy to install fan/heatsink combos that use the existing clips on the motherboard?. If not would it be possible to just replace the fan and use the original heatsink?.

TIA Ace.

Fan stopped on my IC7 about 18 months ago. Still running passive with no stability problems.

I think if you can get a vantec Iceberq, that should pop right in

Been running my IC7 max3 passive since the fan failed, without any problems at all.

Removed the fan from the blue orb heatsink, figured that the sink was at least as big as the passive sink on the Asus motherboards, so just left it passive. Run with 250mhz FSB no problem passive, although I wouldnt push it much beyond that.
