NB Fan? Recommendations

On my NF7-S v2.0, I use one of those funky little Zalman heatsink, which of course doesn't use a fan. Just recently I've been experiencing hardware crashes, i.e The computer just turns itself off (doesn't even shutdown) and then proceeds to beep at me till I reset the power. I'm figuring it could be the North bridge over heating, considering the fact I removed some of the NB coolers heatsink rods so it could fit next to my rather large CPU HS.

So unless any of you think my problem is the cause of something else, recommendations please on low rpm quiet fans for the NB. Preferably something that will fit nicely on top of the Zalman NB.

Cheers

    just about any normal 40mm fan should be fine. Stay away from the delta thing that does like 13,000rpms and pushes like 14cfm, and you shouldn't have an issue with noise.

    It's the blue one, problem is, because it is essentially right next to the CPU cooler, there may not even be room to fit a 40mm fan on there. I guess I'll just pick any old little thing up and see how I go. I asked simply because I didn't want something that would start making a racket after a few weeks like my ABIT stock one did.

    Cheers guys.
