My DFI LP ut nF4 chipset fan (45mm) is making a lot of noise lately and it is very annoying. I would like to fix this.
What can I do? If replacement is the solution, then please suggest some. Please note that the 7800gtx has a AC NV silencer3 which comes right on top of the chipset fan...
AC NV silencer 5 (rev 3) is discontinued. found this. is it worth it? reviews show that it's OK but not great.

I had got the AC NV silencer rev 3 in Dec 05 for my NVidia 7800 GTX and now the fan of that silencer is making a lot of noise. The fan is not detachable and so I would have to RMA or get a new one. Didn't check but is the same model still available? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
