I wouldn't disconnect it. I think that's the heatsink for your northbridge/southbrdige and they put it there for a reason. What I would do if I were you is buy a aftermarket passive northbridge/southbrdige cooler or better yet ghetto rig a fan onto it that's no where near as noisy.

Which mb is that ? I had an ASUS with the nforce 4 ultra chipset and that same little fan made a lot of noise and after a few days it stopped working. Then after a few days the mb stopped working, lol.

Maybe it's dying.

P.S.: I used to be an ASUS fanboy, not anymore Sad

That's the South bridge Cooler DO NOT REMOVE IT!. If it's to loud, get a new one, but do not remove it!, it could seriously fuke up your board.

+1

an aftermarket cooler will cost next to nothing.

Kommando, if this isn't some extremely high end motherboard, you could replace it with a fanless heatsink, purchasable in various hardware stores. There are various sizes, so make sure to get one that is designed for your motherboard.
