System fan replacement

Hey, some advice needed here. My system fan ground to a halt a month or so ago, a friend gave me a spare fan which came off a board which had died on him. Not long after that fan started slowing down, what im after is a decent replacement.... ive taken the old fan off and have glued a cheap graphics card fan directly to the heatsink, its doing the job.. not quite as good as the original but temps are low, however between the fact the fan looks ugly and that it dont work as good as the original i want to put something better on, ive thought about using a Vantec iceburg as it looks nice, any suggestions?
thanks

getting the best from an nforce 2 part one modding the board

Can anyone recommend me a Northbridge fan replacement?

I have a MSI K8N Neo4-F nForce4 and recently i have been experiencing random crashes and lock ups which i think are due to the northbridge fan failing (it was making horrible noises).
I tried to replace this with the Asaka heatsink/fan combination thing but it didn't fit under the graphics card as there is only about 1.5cm vertical space available. Can anyone recommend a replacement suitable for this motherboard? Preferably a cheap one. =)
Also -i don't know much about chipset- is it safe to run the computer without a northbridge fan installed assuming i don't do anything intensive like games or whatever?
Thanks in advance.

I was sniffing around some other forums,(as you do), when I came across this post. It sounds intresting, and may be worth giving it a try.

"Repair your noisy cpu and system fans
This is a fix that will last for a long, long time.
Buy some graphite powder and some oil at an auto or hardware store. They come in different packages. For oil, the best is the pen-type as they are easy to handle and only give a small amount at a time. Just about any oil in a pen format will work fine. The graphite powder comes in small plastic tubes. But make sure you get graphite powder, not graphite oil, its too thin for this job! So you need graphite powder in a small tube and oil in a round "pen" that can be squeezed out and placed just where you need it. Also, when the oil is used up in the "pen" you can open it and add your own oil.
First, clean the fan blades off real well. If you have a heatsink with the fan then clean the heatsink off as well. You can even use a bit of your oil and some q-tips for cleaning if needed. Then, take the small circle, it usually has a name on it, but its in the middle of the fan. Peel one edge up carefully and put a very small amount of oil in where you lifted the label up. Now add some graphite powder in the same place where you put the oil, add as much or a bit more of the graphite powder than the oil. Clean off excess oil and graphite and push the label back where it was. You may need a very small amount of duct tape to hold the label in position and to prevent leakage. This is important if the fan is going to "sit up" as opposed to lying flat.
Now put the fan back where you want it and when it starts spinning it may be noisy for a few seconds until the graphite\oil works its way in. Then it will stop and it will stay stopped for many years and you may very well not need to buy a new fan after all!
I experimented a lot with this and this is the very best way to quiet all those fans and have them work well. I have always been a big fan of those removable ide hard drive trays that you can buy. But the fans are the pits, they get noisy real fast. So i had to find a way to fix them as they are very expensive and hard to replace. Now i don't have to. Combo of oil and graphite is the very best, by far. One caution, graphite stains worse than
oil, so be careful! I'm talking about staining your clothes and hands.
You can use this system with all CPU fans, video card fans, system fans, and even fans inside power supplies. But one word of caution, its easy to open a power supply and take out the fan, but do be careful as there are voltages there can can hurt you badly. If you don't know what you are doing then wear rubber gloves to get the fan out and to put the fan back in after the
repair!
Trust me, this will work. If the fan spins my method will work for years and I have even fixed fans that were stuck and wouldn't spin! This is better done with the fan on the table but in those cases where you cant or don't want
to take the fan out of the system, that's where the "pen" with the needle comes in again, but i still find a way to get some graphite in as well, graphite is what makes the oil last a long time! And graphite is also an oil, but you need both together for maximum effectiveness. Oil by itself will only last a few weeks or so and then evaporate, and the fan will get noisy again. Its the graphite powder that does the long term job. The oil really only helps to spread the graphite powder around really well so the graphite can do the job!
Hope you do as well as i have with this info!"
End Quote.
Edit - Additional Info
The type of northbridge fan used on some MSI boards, eg K8N Platinum & Diamond etc, require that you remove the fan from the board first (you will have to remove the motherboard to do this). This is because the top of the shroud is attached from the bottom by two tiny Phillips type screws. Once you have removed the shroud, very gently prise off the fan from the motor assembly. There is no need to try and remove the three other tiny screws that secure the fan motor in place to the bottom half of the shroud. Once removed, you will see that under the fan is a small plastic pin that holds the sleeve bearing in place.

System Fan(90B) error...

I bought an HP 630 Notebook PC one month ago. Now, when it's powerd on, it's showing an error message like "System Fan is not working correctly System Fan(90B)".

Question about heat & system fan ? with Corecenter software?

hello guys,
i am having some strange experience well i just happened to clean my CPU well just external clean with cloth well then when i started i heard sound of some sort it turned out to be a plastic piece with the fan anyway i just did not do anything else well recently my CPU is very running cool i mean does System temeperature goes high will my CPU fan go high too i mean i dont' get a reading for my System fan speed in corecenter why ? can i do something about it please tell me. ? should i check the inside of my CPU well i am no expert but i am still ameteure well what do you say

I don't think CoreCenter uses the system temperature to control fan speed.
Is your cpu fan still working? When you say a plastic piece is broken, do you mean a fan blade? If so you should replace the fan.

Compaq CQ62-215DX-fan boot error, even after fan replacement

I have a Compaq CQ62-215DX laptop. Everytime on startup I get this boot error "a system fan is not operation correctly" The system then automatically shuts itself down after a few seconds.
I ordered a replacement fan and installed it, however I'm still getting the same issue.
I figure the chances of the newly installed replacement fan being DOA are fairly low, so what should be next step to fixing my problem? Are there any common problems with the replacement of these fans on this particular computer? The laptop is a few months out of warranty so I'm either stuck paying a bunch of money to fix it, or buying a new computer if I can't fix it myself. Help!

It's either a bad fan which I agree is unlikely or a bad fan header on the motherboard which means a new motherboard. Sorry.

DV6-6060sa Do I have discrete graphics memory or UMA graphics memory? + Where is 'System Fan 'B''

Hi There,
I am going to attempt replacing a fan on my Pavilion DV6-6060sa Laptop, I have been looking around on the net and have just now read through the service manual to better understand which component needs replacing.
I am going to be changing system fan 'B', as the error message states at start-up. (I have tried compressed air spray through the air vents but this has not worked.)
In order for me to purchase the correct part number I need to know whether I have Discrete memory or UMA memory.
As stated above I have a Pavilion DV6-6060sa unit, the below snippet is from the service manual.
(12) Fan/heat sink assembly (includes replacement thermal material):
For use only with computer models equipped with ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650
graphics subsystems
518435-001
For use only with computer models equipped with graphics subsystems with discrete
graphics memory
512837-001
For use only with computer models equipped with graphics subsystems with UMA
graphics memory
512830-001
Could you let me know which part number I require, and also send me a link for an original HP replacement part please?
The fan I will be replacing is the fan closes to the power button, looking down at the laptop from a birds eye view it is located on the upper left corner. The two vents (one on the left and one on the top) usud to have air forced out from the fan, which is now not working. I take it this is system fan 'B' and is the heat sink?
Please can you confirm the above information?
Specifically Including a description of which fan system fan 'B' is? (thank you)
I appreciate your help, Simon.

Hi,
90B is the error code, not the location of the fan.

System Fan 90B Error Message

Hello, I've had my Envy dv7-7320us for about 2-3 years and Just last week my notebook shut itself off in the middle of me working on it. When I turned it back on, there was a black screen that read ...... The System Fan <90B> message that everyone here seems to be getting. I sent it over to a computer shop and they cleaned the fan (it was filthy), and I also gave to ok to replace the fan. So they did that as well. Here we are into the 7th day since the error page occured and the shop tells me that the message STILL appears , even after cleaning and replacing the fan. I dont want them to do anything more , because it sounds like things might get costly and if it's something that I can do myself, I would prefer to just do so. Does anyone know why the message could still be appearing , or what other methods I can take to resolve this problem? I just dont want them to do anything drastic or costly for no reason. PLEASE HELP!!

Some bios's have a error message section that needs to be cleared before the message will stop. If not try clearing the cmos by removing the cmos battery for 15 minutes.

Kt4-ultra system fans

ok guys - was wondering if you could help me out here!
i am on a crusade to make my puter as quiet as a really quiet thing on national quiet day!
already got a nice solid case (lian li 60)
i have removed the via fan and replaced the whining little thing with a zalman northbridge heatsink (no need for fan)
proc fan is fairly quiet (it will do till i get a zalman flower or something similar)
2 front fans are sweet - hardly hear them at all!
ram just has copper heat sinks (again no fan)
insinde of puter - apart from the windowed bit has been sound proofed using akasa foam!
power supply fan is suprisingly quiet (it will do till i can afford a top of the range quiet one anyway)
but now to my problem!!!!
the rear system fan is literally blowing me away - lol
it is supposed to be a low noise all singing all dancing fan but it hasn't made any difference to the case original!
the reason i am posting here is because this new fan has the sensor line and connects to the mobo sfan 1 socket - which i assumed would alter the fan speed according to the temp of the system!
but the fan seems to be running at top whack all the time (now my system is running very cool, almost cold in fact - when i feel the air being pumped out of the fan it is still about room temp!
is there any sort of set up or progam i need to do/install before the system will start controlling the fan??
or do you have any other advice?

ok i downloaded and installed the latest pcalert 4
this has had no effect in altering fan speed - infact all i can get it to do is beep at me when i set my min temp to 50c - lol
help please someone - there must be a way of setting optimal temp values and the fans adjusting as needed!!
or am i expecting the mobo to do too much?
btw cpu temp is 38c (fan running at 2500)
system at 35c (fan running at 2766)

System fans full blast

Hi there. I have a Power Mac G5, dual 2.7's, and I turn it on this morning and the system fans immediately kick on full blast, before the OS even loads. They won't slow down or kick off unitil I turn the computer off. I tried resetting the PRAM and SMU, ran the Apple Hardware Test, and it said everything was ok. This thing sounds like a vaccum cleaner, please help!

Yeah, count me in - dual 2.7.
New processor and still sleep problems, especially if left alone for long periods of time.
Here's what I have done so far (still in process):
1. Erase and install of OS X via disks included with computer for HDD installed in the lower “B” slot. The HDD installed in the “A” slot at this time had all of my software and 10.4.6 with all software updates installed. Install crashed at the end of second DVD and computer had to be shut down via the power button.
2. Removed primary HDD from the upper “A” slot and replaced it with the newly formatted (erase and install) drive that previously occupied the lower “B” slot.
3. Started computer, entered basic information and allowed wireless keyboard and mouse to pair. Did not set up AirPort at this time.
4. Attempted sleep with DVI connected only. Left machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
5. Plugged in USB 2.0 cable from Apple Cinema Display into main I/O in the back of the computer. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
6. Plugged in FireWire cable from Apple Cinema Display into main I/O in the back of the computer. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
7. Plugged in iSight cable and Mighty Mouse into Apple Cinema Display. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
8. Plugged in FireWire 800 cable from external HDD (powered on) into main I/O in the back of the computer. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
9. Plugged in USB 2.0 cable from iPod nano into main I/O in the back of the computer. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
10. Plugged in FireWire cable attached to iPod photo and FireWire cable from CompactFlash card reader into FireWire PCI card. Let machine sleep automatically for one hour, and then restarted successfully.
11. Computer not making POST “gong” on restart. Reset PRAM successfully.
12. Shut down computer and reset SMU. Removed all RAM except innermost two slots.
13. Restarted computer and allowed it to sleep automatically for 45 minutes. Woke from sleep successfully.
14. Shut down and remove first pair of DIMMS and replace with next pair. Let computer sleep automatically and wake after 45 minutes.
And 4 more GB's of RAM to go....
This unit just had a new processor installed.
Since then, I have been on the phone with AppleCare for hours. Every tech blames everything except the computer. Good luck, all.

Removal of system fan

Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me how you remove the system fans as i need to replace it, i can't seem to find any clips anywhere, my motherboard is the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, and the fan i'm talking about is the one above the graphics chip, NOT the CPU
Cheers Guys

take the motherboard out of the case
pinch the heads together on the underside of the 2 small pins
they splay open like a rawl plug does
and pull them from the front
then once they are both out twist it to break the suction of the grease
