Hey guys,

I have a ABIT AN7 mobo and my chipset fan is NOT working. Its not turning on what so ever. Its plugged up of course to the right plug/power and its not coming on. I am pretty sure I need a new one. However, I have no clue to what to get and where to get it? Its not a heatsink and fan its just a simple fan thats on the mobo. Can anyone please point me in the right direction to get one of these?

Also I want to upgade my CPU heatsink/fan to a better one. I have a AMD Athlon XP 2200+ CPU. Anyone have any suggestions to what brand, or heatsink/fan to get? Thanks in advance guys.

Heh, don't you just love the socket A! :rockout:

First, it is a heatsink and fan, not just a fan. Second, the heatsink is on the north bridge. Third, this will fit your motherboard just fine. Hope that helps.:)
