Solve : Fan on chip stopped.? |
|
Answer» HELLO and thank you for looking at this problem. I have an AMD Athalon 1 gig ram 260 odd C: Drive and Windows XP Pro. The install was a clean install on a clean drive. The fan on the chip was on the way out for some time, being noisy, so I threw a bandaide at it, (oiled it), and true to form it died some ( long ) time later. I have a box of bits and pieces of computers Ive gathered over the years, fans included. Can I put any fan on the chip or does it have to be an original AMD fan? I KNOW all the dedicated people will say " IT HAS TO BE AN AMD FAN" "DONT DO IT" "RELIABILITY ISSUES WILL ARISE" and so on, but REALLY does it? Thank you for your EDUCATED input. ImnoGuru.The fan doesn't have to be stock...as long as it keeps the CPU temp down, but most importantly...reliable.Yep I thought that might be the case. Thanks GlitchPC You're welcome...Yep works fine and is a lot quieter now. I was worried about correct voltages and so on but it all seems fine. ( no smoke leaving the unit so far) Thank you ImnoGuru |
