Motherboard fan on ASUS motherboard

[noob]

My motherboard fan is quite noisy if I disable it will it affect the system that much? It's only a small fan.

Stupid question is it just the case of removing the fan and cliping it on?

I have this mobo http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=207&model=596&modelmenu=1

Its because Asus developed a fan which they put on most of their mobo's and it goes. So ring up Asus and they'll sent you a new free one.

Mine's bee okay since then.

Old one unclips via 2 holes in mobo and then new one slots on.

Cheers for that although I prefer to go for the heatsink method.
