My fan started whining shortly after I got the board, but thankfully the
whine has gone away for now. I'm not really in the mood for replacing it at
the moment as doing so will require me taking the motherboard out the case,
etc (I really do hate working on PeeCees...).

Zalman have a northbridge heatsink (the ZN-NBF47) that apparently works
well with Atom boards, but it requires a case with enough vertical
clearance, which mine doesn't have.
