replacement chipset fan for GA7DX

Mike,

This is a little late but....

Never ever use a vacuum cleaner near electronic stuff!!!!!!!!
Vacuum cleaners spit static electricity even when they suck.

Unless of course it is purpose designed and has earthing connectors and all
that.
Outside the case with covers on is ok.

This is useful advice. Thanks you. What about vacuum cleaners that are made
for cleaning PCs?

Thanks for the sources. Are the screw sizes standardized?

Screws are normally supplied. If not, a trip to the local hardware store may
be in order.

The issue is weather the screws will fit the heatsink already on the
motherboard.

There are mini vacuum cleaners available from electronics shops that give
one the impression that they *may* be suitable, but I doubt if they have
enough umpf so have never bothered looking closely at them.

Most people use cans of compressed air that are made specifically for the
purpose - again from electronics shops.
Others use paintbrushes - engineers are often seen using paintbrushes with
bristels made from copper wire.
I have used ordinary horse hair brushes in the past (in desparation). I
brush it over the metal case then the part, then the case...

Either that or I blow hard and try not to spit!

I use both. The small vacuum cleaners don't have a lot of power, but seem to
work reasonably well and are not strong enough to suck off a snug fitting
connector. When the dust is thick I prefer not to just blow it on to my tech
bench or into the air. The cans of tetrafluroethane etc. are good for the
tight spaces.

Cheers,
Mike H.
