    Just moved house and thought I'd carry out a post-move check. Discovered the CPU fan (see sig) wont start spinning itself, give it a flick and it'll get going again but it cant seem to start itself.

    1.) Is it buggered?
    2.) Where can I get another one!

    1) Probably buggered. I had the same exact issue for a motherboard chipset fan, I never bothered to research if it could be fixed as I bought a passive chipset cooler for a quick fix.

    2) The only place I know where they sell a replacement fan is AC's own online store. It only costs USD1.90 but I have no idea on the shipping costs.

    What about using a standard 92mm case fan and some zip ties or will that be really noisy as its not mounted on the rubber mounts?

    it would be better to go and get a new CPU cooler even a stock one would do .
    as they are under £10 and about £40 for a top CPU cooler .would not take the chance of burning out your CPU
