just saying this first, a total noob when it comes to understanding PC's.

Im hearing a strange noise from my case. it sounds like a "whirring" out of sync and has been getting noiser than it normally is. so im thinking its the CPU Fan/Heatsink.

Now i (think) i need a replacement and i have no idea what fan size it is, i know its a LGA1155, i run a i3 2120 3.30ghz. My tower is a Xigmatek Asgard Midi Tower Case - Black. and my GPU is a MSI HD 7750 2gig gddr3, power supply is a OCZ Core Xtreme 500w '80 Plus'.

I need to know what fan size i can fit it for a replacement. seen many nice looking fans but i dont know if they are the right size/power consumption.

Thanks.

Edit: opened up my case and listened around.. my GPU fan is making a strange tinny high pitch noise when i get close to it. something i should be worried about? my CPU fan it doing the same sound but much less frequant and lower pitch.

That would be coil whine, Google it.. CPU fan shouldn't be making the same noise, possibly a different one if the fan is faulty?
