I have just oiled my NB fan on my Abit IC7-MAX3 because it was dieng. I also took off the heatsink and put some AS5 on it. Before oiling and changing thermal paste it used to run at sppeds of 4000-5000rpm now it has dramatically decreased to 2300-3400rpm is this because the AS5 has decreased temperatures by alot and it doesnt need to go as fast or is there something wrong?
 
those chipset fans are notorious for dying. I would just replace it with a passive zalman + AS5
 
Generally corners are cut on chipset fan construction. I've heard good things about the passive Zalmans. I use one of these: Fan, which has served me very well, if you must have an active cooler.
