Fans on A7V133 Motherboards

I have several A7V133 motherboards with fans on the chipsets. Dust is
building up in them so now the computer sounds like it is a plane taking off
when it starts up. Where can I get replacement fans for these boards?
 
I have tried to dust with canned air, however a lot of dust actually ends up
inside the fan coil and the oil on the coil causes the dust to become paste
which you can't blow out.

I have taken the fans off, apart, and relubed, but it is more hassle than it
is worth. I don't want to spend a half an hour a box trying to fix a $2 fan
when I can replace them in under 3 minutes.
 
That sounds like the fan for the Athlon CPU. I want one for the chipset on
the board.
 
No fan is need at ALL, unless you are o/cing. Just remove the fan,
but leave the heatsink on. Simple, and less dust. :)
Or, you can get some zalman chipset heatsink which work much better,
but are not needed, but look nice. :)
