fan dying on my scythe Shuriken...new fan or new cooler?

Post by setherd » Fri Dec 18, 2009 9:08 am

It seems like my fan is dying on my cpu cooler (amd X2 5000 BE)
100mm is hard to find. is it possible to replace the fan with a 120mm?
or should I get a whole new cooler?

thanks!!!!

OK I grabbed a 120mm thermaltake at compusa. I was able to bend the clips to it easily.
as a side benefit it now cools the northbridge more than the old fan :)

corsair h50 is a nice alternative.

Hi,

Scythe makes several 100mm fans, some"slim" and some 25mm thick:
