Vantec Iceberq All-In-One Copper VGA and Chipset Cooling KitItem#: V13-2204  |  Model#: CCB-A1C

Easy to install

Installed it quickly and the fan works great!

it works

cools the chip, solved overheating problem. fit with minor modifications. runs very quiet. fan is always on, lacks on off wire would purchase again

Worked for me

I didnt really use the whole kit. I searched for days for a replacement fan with these dimensions and couldnt find one, so I bought this kit and ditched the sink just to get the fan. It worked great.

I guess it works

Motherboard is an ASUS A8N-E. The fan mounting holes are to wide. Solution was to elongate the holes with a small round file and clip the tabs to shorten them so the fan will mount clear of other components. I noticed that some of the other reviews report temperatures lower. I don't know how they are measuring this because mine has no thermal connection. It reports to the MB only that it is to slow. It is noisier than the original before the bearing failed, but only annoying in a quiet room. Ratings: Value, is based on vs replacing the MB. Features, It's a fan with only 2 wires. even though the picture shows 3. Quality and Performance. No real data on which to base an analysis.

Fixed the noise but it didnt cool much

Another customer complained about it being noisy. This is because the front housing of it can touch the fan if you push to hard to make it stick to the chipset. I just took a knife and bent the front of it out some because the fan blades rub on the copper front. Now, after I replaced my heatsink on my gigabyte fx990-ud3 with this, the pc started freezing after it started up and sit for about 4 minutes. Even faster if I tried to do somthing like watch a movie. And the fans holes didnt match the holes that were on my board from the heat sink so I could only use one hole but the thermal tape held it in place. After taking it off and putting the original heatsink back on. I let it run all nite and looked at it the next morning and no freeze up. I think its because this fan doesnt actually blow air, it pulls air in to cool the copper back of the fan that touches the chipset. but I dont think thats enough.

Good product

Allways pull the heatsink off the chipset and replace it with these on a MB installation and have used on graphics cards as well! so much better than a heatsink alone and they seem to have a really long life.

works great, had to make it fit.

When I ordered this, I thought it was a 3 wire fan. Turns out it is not. Looking at the pictures again, it's pretty obvious now haha. While I had to take some wire cutters and heavily trim the wings to make it fit, the numbers speak for it. Kept the chipset at around 30 I think. Purchased and installed this for a customer.

Great replacement fan

I bought this to replace a vga card fan. Easy install and still working over a year later.

Good value but noisy

Works well but a bit noisy.

works

I should have done more research or at least tried to get some measurements as the mounting holes on my motherboard north-bridge chip set were closer together than what the fan had, not the fan's fault. So I removed the fan from the copper cage and installed it in the fan I was replacing and has been working fine. This also comes with 2 different sized heat sinks if you don't want to continue using a fan.
