Hey, I took apart my computer a few days ago and found out the my chipset fan is broken, and I need some help on finding a decent new one.

My mobo is a asus a8n5x and its a Nforce4 chipset. I noticed there isn\'t much room above because of the video card.

Any ideas? I don\'t really have a price range since they don\'t seem to be very expensive.
 
The Evercool VC-RE is what I am using on my DFI. I dunno if the dimensions are the same but I also have the problem with clearance on the videocard. If you want to spend a bit more, I have heard good things about the JTS 0006.
 
I've got an older vantec iceberg on mine, it fits fine underneath my video card.. If you're worried about clearance, there are heatpipe-style chipset coolers you can get.
 
If clearance is not an issue, i have a 2 different zalman passive HSs for my systems and they work actually better at cooling my NB than my stock one with a fan did. Stock temps were around 49-50C and now they hover around 37-40C
