The Norhbridge chipset cooler fan failed on my PC motherboard.
The replacement fan was hard to find item and even FANs that needed to be more or less adapted were quite expensive (almost 20 Euros).
Then I saw this product ZM-NB47J.
ZM-NB47J does not require a fan, thus does not need to be powered, and does not generate noise or vibration. The Northbridge chipset can be cooled to an optimal temperature without generation of noise.
Sounded good to me.
The installation was quite easy. Hardest part was to get the old heatsink+fan out of the motherboard.
The product worked as advertised. It cooled the chipset as needed. Using it reducted the noise coming from the PC. And it was cheaper than replacing the fan with new one.
