Ok, the chipset fan died after 6 months which is a known problem, but even though I've been sent a replacement, I'm thinking about not bothering with it (as it seems the whole mobo needs yanking out to do this). I've come to the conclusion that a) the chipfan has a circle of heat conductor spikes around the fan itself which is keeping things cool, and b) my motherboard temperature never goes higher than 35*.
Is this a good sign that I needn't bother with a new chipfan, or are the few spikes that remain not enough?
I haven't had a working chipfan for over 7 months now btw.
