motherboard fan too fast
i have an A8N-SLI deluxe asus motherboard.... and the system chipset fan... spins at about 9,000 rpm ... all the time. this worries me obviously. but i cant find a switch for it.
any suggestions? i can remove the fan... just unplug it. its a very very very small fan... and i have 6 fans in my system... 2 big ones for the airflow... so... do i REALLY need this motherboard fan???? I dont want 9000 rpm fan waking me up all the time at night.... :)
if you know how to control this fan... i would be happy to hear that as well....

Yes I'm Japanese. As for where you could get the heatsinks:

By the way, it's easy to install. I have an MSI motherboard and used a different model of the Zalman heatsink. But after I installed it, ahhhhh, it was just peace and quiet. Took me about 5-10 minutes total.
Wait, you said you were in Japan... Okay, so I need to find a place that ships internationally. Give me a couple of minutes...

just so i am making this clear... cause chipset maybe could mean other things..> I mean the fan on the motherboard.... NOT THE CPU FAN... I have the stock heatsink and fan on the cpu chip. i mean... on the motherboard itself... there is a tiny tiny tiny fan... that spins incredibly fast... ASUS calls this the chipset fan.... but i see other places call the chipset fan the cpu fan.... so you think this goes on the motherboard right?
Have you checked your BIOS?
Yes, I know "exactly" what you're talking about. Like I said, I want thru the same thing. I replaced my case fans, my CPU heatsink, and my Northbridge Chipset Fan (that's what you want to replace).
I'm not having much luck finding a place that ships to Japan. If there's a retail computer store near you, there's a good chance that they'll have a northbridge heatsink.
But I did find this one:

$7.50 + $13.50 S/H (to Japan) = $21.00
