3870 needs a new fan.

Hi guys.

My 3870 has been dodgy for a while, but I haven't been using the PC much so I haven't been bothered to fix it.

But now I've started using it more and I've noticed that the fan is making a grinding noise.

I suspect this is the bearings, is it possible to get another 3870 fan?

I've looked on the OcUK store but I'm not really sure what's compatable with the 3870?

This is great cooler for the money,

And that'll fit the 3870 fine?

I assume it's easy enough to fit?

Cheers.

Yeah it should fit just fine and its a pretty straight forward HSF to fit.

Have you done one before ?

Yeah I removed the stock one off the 3870 a few times when I needed to clean it.

Was simple enough, just involved turning some springy screws (techical wording fail!)
