Removing chipset fan on motherboard??

[SyscoKid]

I have a GA-K8N Pro board and the fan on the chipset makes quite a bit of noise. I was wondering if anyone has ever taken the fan off completely? What would this do? Is it necessary?

You can also remove the fan or just replace it with a quieter one.

On my GA-K8N-SLi board there is no fan and it works fine to me. Didn't notice a single heat problem before.
