Reputation: 1239   Rep Power: 19 | ASUS mobo's has a known chipset fan issue.. i got my A8N-SLi and within two weeks, the chipset fan failed on me. it's probably gonna fail on you pretty soon. good news is you can get a replacement..free of charge. just contact some ASUS dealers or suppliers. fyi, my system was running fine even without the failed fan, of course a bit hotter than usual..  if you don't want to wait, you could get yourself the Zalman northbridge cooler : http://www.pccasegear.com/prod262.htm but be warned that thing is a bit tall and might just give you problems if your using a very "long" graphics card.

Reputation: 249 Rep Power: 9 | I've got the same mobo, where does it say in the bios that the fan is running slow?  All I know is that some fan somewhere in my system is kinda noisy - and it's not the case fan...  ...I think it's the PSU, how do I tell?  |

i've already got a replacement NB fan long ago for free! it has been working fine but just a month or so ago..it's starting to break down again.  either i : 1. try to get another free fan 2. remove it and hope my mobo doesn't get too hot 3. get a passive zalman NB fan (and cut it because it's too big) i'm going for option 1 then 2 if failing that. 3 is just too much trouble. no more asus mobo's for me. next time i'll go with DFi.

also. vaccumm your pc from time to time.. the collected dust here in the PC can be quite scary.
they refered me to their distributor who was a very nice person and said he'll contact a local reseller to get me a replacement instead. so tentatively waiting for good news from him...
