IC7-G northbridge cooler

[Dyewitness]

Hi all.

I have an Abit IC7-G mobo and my northbridge fan has died. I was wondering. Would this Chipset cooler be capatible with my mobo.

my northbridge fan seems to fit on by 2 clips. Im wondering would this fan be the right one to get. any suggestions? ??? ?

The one your looking at has push pins that go through two small holes in the mobo

This one seems to fit both types of chipset though

Shut it!

Swiftech MCX159-CU Chipset Cooler is the thing i'm on about but it' in the usa i have a link for it! No competors

Could try the Thermalright HR-05 Fanless Chipset Cooler

Oh and the Microcool Northpole XE Whisper is ment to be amazing a sit can cool your cpu as well, ie can be used as acpu hsf as well as nb

My IC7 Max3's fan failed at least a year ago, I just removed the fan. Been running 'passive' on the standard 'orb' cooler, and even overclocked to 250FSB its been no problem at all.

Abit had 2 different coolers on the IC7/IS7 boards, one smaller cooler, which was more reliant on its fan, and the later version which is a big blue one, lots of metal, and seems ok running passive.

I have an IC7 without any cooler or HS on at all (originol fell off).
The PC is at work and overclocked quite considerably for two years without a crash!

So my advice ....don't bother!

My suggestion? nothing..same as corasik, i took the fan off when it started going and have used the bare sink for about 1yr now without issue, this is with a 2.8 800FSB HT Northwood at 3.4Ghz 243x14 1:1 RAM and stock cpu voltage, dosen't go past 45C max on the system temp. XP-120 used to cool the cpu.
