That's very possible, but no one knows. Of course, if you don't like
the fan, many users have reported excellent results from replacing the
fans on A8N-SLI-E and A8N-SLI Deluxe boards with very inexpensive
Zalman heat sinks. Judging by system stability, this mod seems to
give result as good as the heatpipe. If you do it before the
motherboard's installed, it's easy to do -- i.e., it's nothing that's
beyond the capabilities of a beginner.
