Chipset fan is loud
My chipset fan is really starting to bug me and I want a new one. I have the nForce 4 Ultra chipset just so you know. Any suggestions?

perhaps you could get the same one if that one is faulty it doesn't mean that they all are.
anyways i like loud fans, they give my computer more charater.

Or try to install a heatsink instead, but make sure it's good enough for the purpose.

I used to have the same motherboard, and yes it is load. You could try using a different fan from newegg with lower rpms, or try using just a heatsink with possibly a heatpipe.
What are the temps?

Try Everest. I use my Abit uGuru program for my temps.
Mine is around 30C under load.
