Replacing cpu fan

Deschain · 23 Nov 2014 at 12:07

Hi

I have a Gelid Tranquillo cpu cooler. Have had it for about 2 years and the fan has become increasingly loud. Can you buy just a replacement fan? Or does anyone know anything I can do to decrease the whirring sound?

Thanks

have you tried cleaning it?

Yes

When you say cleaning, do you mean the blades or the internal workings?

If you just want to buy a replacement, there are lots of fans in the £5-10.00 range.

But Gelid may do as some other companies with good customer support do. Send you a replacement fan.

Here's link to their customer support.

Thanks. I'm going to email them first to see what they come back with.

Thanks all for the help

Just as an aside, what is the difference between:

Noctua NF-P12PWM and Noctua NF-F12PWM ?
