I have an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard, great board, unfotunately, the chipset fan has failed.
Asus have been superb, and sent out a replacement fan straight away. I've checked the motherboard, and the only way to remove the defective fan seems to be to take the whole thing out, and snip off the plastic hooks on the reverse of the board
This is a pretty big job as everything will have to be disconnected, the motherboard unscrewed out, and all memory + cards taken off
Then everything has to be reinserted and screwed back in, pain in the ass!!
Does anyone know an easier way?
Also, have any other nForce4 chipset owners experienced this issue?
Thanks in advance
