Not much one can do, just take it back and have it replaced, or cough up some dough and have some alternative solution cooked up

When I booted my pc this morning it made a horrible noise of a cooler fan dying, you know the speeding up-slowing down type of stuff.
Pc booted fine though. I opened the case to see what was producing the noise..turns out to be the chipset cooler on the mobo. 
Something like thisAfter checking for dust or fiddling slightly with it it didn't go away, so I suppose it's officially screwed. I'll probably bring it in Tuesday (under warranty). In the meantime I can (probably) use this old piece of shit to get online, but not to play games. Bah.
(sometimes being too lazy to reformat is a good thing...pc was still here, 2 meters from the old one 
)Anyway, any opinions on dying chipset coolers? I think peltz had the SLi version of this mobo (a8-n) and his died too..not sure. Should I think of getting a passive cooler instead when I bring it in? And just how damaging could this be anyway? I'm guessing not a horribly lot.

With the Asus flash tool flashing BIOS is a joke, so I don't think i'd mess up a lot in that department. But is it possible to down-flash a BIOS a step or two? Doesn't give any complications other than any related to the lower BIOS? (normally speaking, I mean)
