I've got an MSI NForce3, socket 939 motherboard, and the chipset fan is
very loud. It's a media center PC, so noise is bad, very bad!

Can anyone recommend a quiet replacement? Or offer any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Replace with passive cooler.
 
forget it..those won't work with that model of M/B..will hit video card, you
may just have to find some low profile Ram sinks and use them.

what's the advantage of a nforce3 socket 939 motherboard ? AGP ?
 
Nforce 3 939 are AGP boards..yes so that is the advantage if you don't want
to replace a decent video card yet. The only reason I went this way was to
keep my X800XL..so I could have a newer system A64-3700 San Diego and keep
running a $300 CDN video.
