TT NB fan issue?

[stain.]

I have a TT North Bridge cooler. (see sig) The fan is making an irritating noise, should I replace it with a thick black fan, or sell it, as is when I get my new mobo (later this week).

OR, should it be sufficient enough to cool the NB w/o the fan?

I had the same issue with a cooler master NB HSF, to fix this I connected it to the DS3 CPU fan slot and let the MB control its speed, at stock it runs at high 2K- to low 3K RPM now it runs at 1Kish RPM. The CPU fan I connected to the NB fan slot but I do have a controller on my Katana CU so it runs on low speed.

Good luck
