    Reccomended fan for this board and processor?
    « on: January 10, 2010, 06:49:11 PM »
    This is my first time posting here.  I'm much more software and programming knowledgeable than i am with hardware, but i can manage usually.  Anyway, I have a slight problem:




    So, I am replacing a broken fan for a pentium 4 processor.  I think it's a 2.4, but can't remember off the top of my head.

    Anyway, this is the fan I am removing:

    http://www.cwc-group.com/c33224.html

    It's a c33224 intel socket-478 fan.
    Normally, i'd just pull that out, order a new one of those, and put it in.  Unfortunatly, it's not so easy this time.  I can't seem to find that fan anywhere new for a decent price.


    It's going onto an intel desktop board (d845gvfn)  Since I'm just going to put a different fan in, I was wondering if anyone had any reccomendations on what fan i should put in as a replacement.

    That CPU fan is not a critical item. I mean to say  it is important, but it does not have to be a perfect match. The heat sink is much more important. Make sure the heat sink fits well and you use a bit of thermal grease. The fan can be anything that moves some air.
    Do you just need only the fan?
    A 92mm fan is  cheap at some surplus outlets.

      OK. A fan and Heat Sink for a P$ using a 478 socket is usually around $35 or so, But if only the fan was broken you can get one for about $7

      But..
      If you are inside the USA and you don't mind shopping on eBay you can find bother the fan and heat skin for under $10
      Not an  endorsement of the vendor. This is for informational purpose here.
