Howdy,
The small Northbridge fan on my X58 motherboard basically sounds like an old prop plane at this point -- I've tried to tighten the screws, put a little padding in as I thought it was the housing vibrating, but I think the fan itself is just super loud. The board performs fine, and has for years, but if possible I'd like a replacement for the fan, if you guys even have any left! Otherwise, I've read that you can MacGuyver it with a 40mm fan and some zip ties... or something.
Thanks!
