tnx for the info.
Is this fan any good(in terms of cooling) compared to new abit nb fan.

[chrisf6969]

Don't know, but from looking at the manufacturer website it looks like a really nice HSF. I would think that it cools better than the original one. Next time that I place an order at Newegg I'm going to add it in. Its only $4, doesnt hurt to try it out & see.

The tiger fan is pretty cheap, needs to be lapped and may not work due to the hold down mechanism. If you have 4 U shaped lugs around the northbridge, then you should be okay to use that HSF combo. But like I said, LAP it because the contact surface on mine was VERY rough. The fan lasted for a year or more - I sold the system I was using it on.

The replacement ABIT fan (Blue Orb, replaced that mini blue cooler used on the early IC7's) is what I bought for my IC7 and I then used it on my Asus P4C800-E. However while it cooled okay, the fan is already crapping out after about 4.5 months. Perhaps I got a lemon, but that's just my experience with it.

Excaliperpc is where I bought my NB fan right when they were released by Abit. I don't know any other place who has them off hand either.

Good Luck!

My fan on my ABit IC-7 not the ORB, but the other blue plastic one started crapping out(making noise) after about 4-5 months too. So I took it out and oiled it and its been fine for the past 2-3 months. But I'm going to get the Tiger one for when it eventually dies.

Its kind of weird, seems like they lost their domain name.

Do you need to send them the old fan back?

They did ask me too, but i honestly never got around to it. I might do that one day, if i can find the address!

They'll only send you a new one if you ask them, and you are in the UK or Europe. In the US, you have to buy a new NB fan.

That's right. I went through the same crap with them when my IC7 fan started crapping out 3 days after I bought the motherboard. :mad:
