Before I call...when you called, do you think they detected your fan was really not broken? 😀

I hope it works internationally.
Good, I'm dying to stock up more heatsinks. Haven't really been out collecting stock HSFs since last year.

Do I need a S/N or anything?

All in English, wow. I sent an email to ASUS support and some guy sent me the instructions on how to make a floppy SATA driver disk. Went like this:

Me: Can you please tell me how to make a floppy sata driver disk to load the sata drivers at the F6 prompt?

Tech guy: (Actual Email frrom tech verbatim from a copy in one of my folders)

open the support cd on another machines "My Computer" then open Drivers folder, then Sata and copy everything from the Sata folder to a floppy except the GUI and the Readme file.

It works!!!!!!!!!!! 8O

Makes you want to go over on Newegg and post a testimonial saying you have the ASUS number to get a free MOBO chipset replacement fan and you just might be willing to post it in return for money. Everyone who owns that board is being driven crazy by the noise. I bet someone would send you a check. :lol:

 

[uber_g]

thats kool

i like there support so far

I wonder how much the tech support guys make?

Gotta shut down. Taking this computer home tonight and swapping it out to another case. Want the Lian Li case for my E6600 next week. It's a nice one. The most popular one on Newegg with the side window, black. Costs like $136 today or something like that. Almost bought a new case and thought better.

 

[uber_g]

oh i just got my lian li case 2 days ago from newegg

I had read about this problem, so when I heard the noise, I got worried. Until one day my pc wouldnt even turn on. I knew it was the chipset fan.

But I had already purchased the swiftech MCX159-CU. http://www.swiftnets.com/

what a sweet fan.
