Replacement Arctic CPU fan

Hi all.

I've got an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro fitted, and the fan is starting to make a clicking noise. What's the cheapest available cooler with a compatible fan that I can swap out, leaving the heatsink in place?

Thanks for any advice

You just want to change the fan? Get another 92mm one and some cable ties.

I'd considered that option, but I'm obsessively tidy, and seeing cable ties wrapped around my heatsink would make me cry.

New heatsink time?

Well yeah, I know I'm gonna need to buy a new cooler, but what's the cheapest one with a compatible clip-on fan? There's no point my buying a £20 cooler if I can just buy a £10 one and swap the fans out.

I'm sure those fans are available to buy, just noot from overclockers .

Hmmm. Just discovered you can get the fans as spares from the USA. Be nice if OC stocked them
