Hi,

is anyone using this board without that noisy fan on the VIA KT266A
chip? Maybe with a different cooler?

Thanks
Mark

I replaced my D+ fan/heatsink with the Zalman Northbridge cooler about
8 months ago. No problems and no noise.

I use Zalman cooler on my CPU and since then i have removed original VIA
fan, since 90 mm zalman cooler is big enough to blow the air on that chip,
also. No problems in years. i just have fan fixed so that some air blows on
that chip also(since its pretty close to cpu). Anyway, after a couple of
months dust comes into that tiny small fan and cooler and then this tiny fan
doesn't help much...

Forgot to tell...i use chipset fan to cool my VGA card, since it Gainward
GF4 and originally comes without fan. I connected it to 7 Volts, so it spins
at reduced speed, so i can't really hear it.

Which one from Zalman did you buy? I´m thinking of a different cooler
for my Athlon XP 1.800+ too.

Hmmm one of those ..i think it's CNPS 6000 Cu - all copper type. It comes
with larger 90mm fan, which is more quiet and fanmate with it you can vary
fan speed, so you can quiet it down. But i did even more - instead of one
fan above the cooler i mounted two fans vertically - one before and other
after cooler, so i could slow down fans even more. Now i have Atlhon 2400+,
(i used to have 1700+) and my temps are ( and i'm useing CPUIdle, too) about
32 deg C when idle and up to max 50 when full load. It's interesting how
CPUIdle can cool the CPU down when idle - as many as 10 or 15 degrees.
But have a look for other zalman's - since by now they have more models
available - at the time i bought it, they were only two - Cu and AlCu
models. SO, now you have the option to really buy the one which is the most
quiet

Thanks a lot.

First I thought of a Arctic Cooling CooperSilent 2 TC Rev. 2.

The CNPS 6000 Cu looks awesome. But the new 7000/7700 series had a
much different design.

The way Zalman puts the fan on the CNPS 6000 gives me some new ideas.
