Anyone know how to replace the noisy northbridge cooling fan on the
nforce4 chipset of ECS Nforce4-a939? I just bought a zalman ZM-NB47J
heatsink, only to find out that there are no holes around the chipset.
Sad
There are only the special handles, where the northbridge fan grabs on.
I couldn't find any heatsink that could adapt on these handles.
Regards,
Thanos

Does the fan attach to those handles with screws?

Real hardware stores sell square plastic anchors for screws that spread
out when a screw is inserted into them, just as metal anchors for
concrete do, and they should be able to grip the fins of the heatsink
tightly enough to hold the fan in place. Even chunks of rubber may
work here because they'll spread out when screwed.
