    Hi

    I have an Abit NF7-s v2.0 motherboard and the fan on it seems to be making buzzing noises and wailing sounds. Is it possible to easily replace it ? I would imagine the cause of these symptoms would be dust and worn out bearings.

    It's easy enough to replace. You just need to know what size fan it is. Hitide and Komplett do a selection of fans.

    Northbridge fans go on a lot of motherboards. Zalman have a good fanless solution named the ZM-NB47J which you can get for about €7 from Hitide like the last poster said.

    If your Northbridge chipset fan does not work properly or produces a high level of noise.
    Or the OTES fan is faulty, if you have MAX3 series board.

    You do able to get a free replacement fan from us, if you have this board for less than 12 months.

    Please send a Stamped self Addressed jiffy bag (at least A5 size) to the address below.
    Also, attach a covering letter which stats the serial number of the board and the requirement of the replacement fan.

    There are three places likely to have the serial number attached.
    1, The surface of the board. I.e. KV7 or KD7A.
    2, The PCI slot5, i.e. IC7 series, AN7, NF7 series, IS7 series etc.
    3, The back of the board, i.e. IC7 series, IC7MAX3.

    However, It should look like IC7--$*$******, IC7G-$*$****** or IS7--$*$******
    or AN7--$*$******. The $ will be alphabet character, the * will be numeric character.
    There should be a copy of serial number on the colour box as well. However, sometimes the serial number on the box could be different from the board as the box can be changed.
    Fail to provide the serial number, we will reserve the right of whether sending the fan.

    If you request the Northbridge fan for IC7 or IS7 series, please use 3 first class stamps for U.K. mainland.
    Others, one or two first class stamps will do.

    You should receive the fan within a week time. If not, please email us to verify the delivery.
    However, please note that Abit is not responsible for the delay of parcel if there has any industrial actions taken by the post office workers.

    Please note that above service applies to U.K. mainland ONLY.
