Hello,

Would the above work on my abit IC7-G northbridge fan?

I plan to replace my intel oem heatsink and fan, the m/board northbridge little whinney fan thing and also my radeon 9800 fan. But first things first

cheers in advance

hi thanks for this...

i havent had time to check my PC as of yet

but... i did a google and found some close up pics... i think it will fit as it has mounting rings

no harm giving it a try i suppose apart from parting 10quid. Better than whinney noises

this is the northbridge heatsink/fan that needs upgrading...

its the blue fan on the top, can you see the way its mounted? not sure what style of mount that is

but is the heatsink you recommended going to fit that style of mount? I just thought the bits on the motherboard looked like ring mounts. Cheers

man thats bad that the zalman that i wanted wont fit... really thought it would have

but im going to replace my intel oem heatsink and fan first, as im still not sure what is causing the loud noises... that or the northbridge or my radeon 9800 oem fan... so one step at a time i guess

yeah true, but just fear of my PC dying as its overclocked from 2.4 to 3!

its an abit IC7-G, running intel pentium 4 2.4C, thanks

hey,

which zalman did you get? if you can you post up piccies?

i tried stopping my fans... the noise is certainly from the oem intel fan, then the NB fan... but different noise stages. But certainly want to iron it all out
