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! Olly
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
