This looks a nifty little option too:

Thermaltake A1899 Chipset Cooler (009159)

http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=311

Has the two harpoon plugs I need and it's a fan and only £5. Gonna look on net for reviews.

Some reviews: I think I'll go for this option Smile

Thermaltake A1899 Chipset Cooler (009159)

Pros: -Good fan overall, i gave it a high rating but im mostly gonna concentrate on the cons. -easy installating -Can mount on any MB preatty much, i mounted it on an ASUs A8N-E mb. -thermal grease included -South Bridge heatsync also included Cons: -Need to use the fan speed controller included in the package in order to get Low-Med-High settings. I tried hooking the fan directly to the MB adaptor and the fan goes to its 9000RPM status -Loud on anything but 5kRPMS right now my nforce4 chipset is at 27 celsius while running world of warcraft and a whole bunch of other apps in the background.


good fan had some troubles with the posts other than that im happy



Nicely done, lowered my temp by 2 degrees and stays stable. Recommended for high-end mobos with intel HT technology

good product-easy install-would recommend it to anyone

Installed it into an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo based system. According to online forums, the chipset fan on these boards is problematic. Mine started ''performing'' at 700 RPM's or so and then I found this... Installing this fan because of the push pin set up was a pain in the neck. Not because of ThermalTake... because of the mobo setup. Mobo had to be removed, pins clips and then this installed. Fairly painless install. The perfomance is awesome! It IS a little loud at full steam but it's better than frying your chipset. If you overclock, get it. You need it. You won't be sorry unless you don't have it...!

Great mounting. Little loud at full steam, but it sounds pretty cool. Like a jet. My computer loads video games a lot faster now.

The installation part where people moan (from what I gather) is the first step, i.e. removing mobo to take old fan off, well I've already done that, so in theory it'll be a case of just pushing new one into place with its pins.

... in theory.



oops I best check if theres any outages going on Smile

Wake up maggie I think I got something to say to you
It’s late december and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I’m being used
Oh maggie I couldn’t have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my fan and that’s what really hurt

Well I think I'll do the easier option of going for the Zandar

http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=158

And also to make p+p more worth while and because my case has a big option for a big fan to go in, and that the heatsink has no fan, i'm gonna go for this:

http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1787

Coolermaster 120mm Fan Blue (02257)

Higher fan transparency and enhanced LED make the color and brightness cannot compare with the traditional LED fan.
Transparent cable helps reflecting LED light from the Fan, it will beautify your case as you organize them.
Lighten up you case as bright as if you have florescent lamp!
Enjoy comfortable computing with super silent fan
Features:

- Higher transparency and brighter LED
- Radioactive light ray lightens up your entire case
- Soft power cable, easier to organize.
- Transparent wires make it better looking.
- Ultra Silent 22 dBA


Specification:

Fan Dimension 120x120x25 mm
LED number 4
Voltage (Volt) 12 VDC
Current (Ampere) 0.15 A±10%
Input Power (Watt) 1.80 W±10%
Speed (R.P.M.) 1220 R.P.M.±10%
Air Flow (CFM) 42.734 CFM
Air Pressure (mmH2O) 1.557 mmH2O
Noise (dB-A) 22 dB-A
Weight 137g
Life (hour) 30,000 hours
Bearing Type Sleeve
Speed Senser Yes


I'm just waiting for Overclockers reply to confirm it's correct fan for that part of case of mine.
