IC7-MAX3 NB Fan Question

I'm delighted for you that you were able to spend $2700 on building your
system. Of course $21 is nothing to spend if it gives you as warm fuzzy
feeling. I'm happy to be able to tell you that you can look forward to
achieving this happy state many times in future as these fans fail rather
regularly . With any luck you'll be able to return to tell us that you've
spent much more than $2700 on your system. Please do keep us informed.

Not worthy of your chemical appellation. You should consider changing it to
mouthwash! ;-)

HI Richard,


I don't know if you are still reading the Abit newsgroup, but if you
are, thanks for the hint for fixing the northbridge fan. I removed
the label, used 3n'1 oil on the oring, put a piece of tape over the
place where the label was, and the fan is up and running and doing
its job,,

thanks again,,
