There was this comment in a Newegg review entry by a customer:

"Built my first computer using this motherboard so can't compare
to others. However, the chipset fan started making noise and wasn't
running at the normal 8-9000rpm. Phoned Asus and they sent me a
replacement within a week. This one is a little larger and has
to be installed at a 45 degree angle. Also, it runs 5443rpm and
is much quieter than stock."

The replacement runs slower than the original.

When you phone Asus, you'll likely need to give them the serial
number to get your fan.
