90998	2002-10-20 02:59:00	The fan on my ASUS 3800 video card has become very noisy, and what's worse, it is intermittent, so I can't even get used to it! I am capable of replacing it, but I need to find a source for the replacement. Does anyone know: The ASUS distributor, or A third party that might have suitable fans (Dick Smith doesn't). TIA Tony	tbacon_nz (865)
90999	2002-10-20 03:16:00	This is the Asus Global Site (www.asus.com), I had a look and there is a Contact Asus page on there that you could use to send an e-mail to find a NZ distributor. Hope this helps Regards Sam H	Sam H (525)

I then took the clip from the original heatsink and flipped it over, removed the fan from the blue orb, put the clip under the fan and reattached it. Viola! a blob of thermal compound and a bit of squeezing, and you then have a new heatskink on your TNT2! Plus you then get fan speed feedback if you have an appropriate connector on your motherboard. Oh yeah, you should be able to get a blue orb from most computer stores. You may be able to mount Dick Smith part :XH6436 on with a bit of modification, might pay to measure everything up before starting though.	BIFF (1)
