The northbridge fan on my Gigabyte motherboard used to make a huge noise and didn't spin properly on bootup, so i replaced it with a Zalman heatsink :).

O.P. RE: Computer Noises!?
Do all fans work on everything? or do i need to look for something specific to my motherboard?

Depends what fan it is, heatsink, Cpu fan or any other fan, what you should do is Open the case up an  Listen for the Noise an where it maybe comming from

it could just be your fans running full speed for some reason, or faster than normal. the servers at my moms work sound like jet engines when the boot, and that only a 1u thing with like 40 mm fans.

when i clean out my computers i use my dads compresser. it gets dust out extreamly well, but the $350 can price tag isnt worth it. get air in a can.

I am having this problem also. I cant be arsed to take off the case to listen tho, because the wiring where my computer is makes it virtually impossible to actually SEE the case once its connected, unless I pull out my ENTIRE comp desk...
I am getting my computer completely upgraded in like 20 days anyways, so I will ask those guys to take a look at it :)
