Chassis Fan problem

[Philippe Georgelin]

I have a Abit KD7-E Mainboard. There is a fan for the chipset, near the processor. This fan does not work.

What is the better solution:

- Go to the vendor to change or repare it ? (several weeks to wait)
- install two chassis fan in front of the chassis and another behind the chassis ?

Thank,

Philippe

Why don't you just buy a new chipset-fan?

Oh yes, I can be a good solution. But I'm not sure if this is the fan or the motherboard plus for chipset fan.

Philppe,

Les ventilateurs du jeu de puces d'Abit sont notoirement le mauvais. Vous pouvez le remplacer, ou mettre une baisse d'huile sur le roulement sous un petit autocollant circulaire.

Well, I just replaced the fan when mine died. And it really died. Some just get stuck. A very small drop of fine oil will usualy fix most of them. Brake fluid works good. Just take the fan off and peel the label off to reveal the bushing/bearings, drop in some lubricant and manually spin the fan til it's loose. Plug it back in to test. BTW, if you pull the little plastic thing off the 2 pins, you can then use a 3 pin fan on it.
