The fan in my pc is buzzing a bit now so want to replace it,

but i anit got a clue what fits?

the MB is an asus a7v8x-x , and the processor amd 2600+ belive thats makes it a socket A


old i know, but does the internet perfectly well.


if someone can let me know what fans / numbers will fit this, something off www.ebuyer.com prefered

 

Here you go only Ł4 should do the job http://www.ebuyer.com/product/86519

Looks like it comes with the heatsink aswell so you'll have to carefully take out your heatsink under the main fan, and then apply the thermal paste which comes with it to the cpu(very thin layers, use a credit card etc to spread it) you dont need much at all but you need to put some on.

P.s you will need so cpu cleaner to clean off the off thermal paste before you apply the new stuff

 

I would advise checking the fan first, it should say on it.

My fan packed up on my old emachines and I trawled round all the local computer places and PC World and none had my particular one in stock. I had to bodge a dodgy Ł10 LED one on in the end. When I finally got back on the net and searched about I found the exact one for under a fiver.

 

you buy a fan to fit the socket type.

also i'd reccomend spending a bit more on a good fan. the noise reduction itself helps massively!

it mught just need a bif of a hoover to get all the dist out tho

 

gave it a good cleaning, can here what sounds like the bearings rubbing?

socket A it is then.

 

The one i posted should be fine, and its only an internet machine so you dont want to be spending 15-20 on a cpu fan

 

yep that will do, tho gotta pop to the shops monday, so ill have a look in maplin in the morning 1st, then if no good, ill order off ebuyer.
