Small Fan

Red02 · 24-November-03, 07:43 PM

Ok well I was able to get my NB HS off and while I was looking around my mobo I noticed the SB had a little HS on it. So I wondered what size it would need. So I got my dad's micrometer and measured how big it was in millimeters. Well I find out that it is roughly 30mm in size. So with that said where would be a could place to find such a small fan, and do they really make them that small?

No offense, but even most hardcore coolers don't bother putting a fan on the SB. Something you could do, however, is put the stock NB heatsink on the southbridge. Since it is designed to handle the heat load of the northbridge it should be more than adaquate for dissipating the small amount of heat produced by the SB. You would probably do better to save that money for something a little more useful....such as better case airflow for ALL your components (which includes the southbridge).
