I have the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI Mobo. The Northbridge fan seems to spinning VERY slow and making a wierd sound... but when i tap on it, it goes back up to speed..... Just wondering what it could be? also is there any other ways of cooling the NB? or do i need the fan on there? Thank you in advance

Probably just needs some oil! These little fans tend to stiffen up after a while. It's possible to take it off, flip it over, peel up the label and put a drop of oil on the shaft and it will run just fine for a few more months.
