It does get hot to the touch, but I don't have to worry about a fan failing on me. This program displays CPU and GPU use and temperatures, as well as the amount of free memory, HDD temperature, and network speed. This tool is made up of multiple graphs that display all of the relevant system data.

The way the Zalman is designed, I was able to rotate it and squeeze it in between my 2 9600GSO's. Moo0 System Monitor is a free and portable system resource monitoring utility. I think Asus uses some type of thermal adhesive. It was scary for me to remove the HSF - it felt like I was going to break something. The nice thing about the Zalman heat sink is that it is large enough that if part of it get in the way of other things like a video card, you can just cut/grind it to fit. The chip is tiny in comparison to the HSF, and it does get HOT. The rotor for the fan is mounted to the hottest part of the HSF, right over the 'chip'. When you examine the HSF that is used, it's no wonder that they fail. I got it not too long ago, and knowing the problems with these types of HSF's, I pulled it off and replaced it with a Zalman ZM-NB47J northbridge heat sink. Googling told me this is a common problem with my motherboard.Īnyone in my predicament and if so what did you do? It's this itsy bitsy little more than an 1 inch in diameter fine that sits a couple of inches from the edge of my Graphics card. For the life of me I still don't know what the 'chip' fan does. It only gives me CPU and Hard Disk temperature that have not gone over 30 degrees C ever. So is there any program I can use to monitor temperature of various parts of my motherboard? Right now I'm using Moo0 System Monitor which is free. If so, my new video card is going to die too :-( However, I do wonder if my first video card dying had anything to do with this. My computer seems to be working just fine. Now I'm not seeing anything untoward happening.

Then I googled for how to replace chip fan on Asus A8N SLI Deluxe. The fan moved slowly for a couple of rotations and then stopped. With the computer open, I turned the power on. I didn't even know what chip fan was until I googled and saw a picture of motherboard with circle drawn around the chip fan. I was very careful putting in the Zip drive. When I booted the machine, BIOS spits warning, 'chip fan not working or speed to low'. So I opened my computer up today to put in a Zip 100 MB drive (yeah, throwback from yesteryears, but I love 'em so).
