Replace only fan on P4 3GHz Intel cpu?
One thing I've not be able to figure out is if it is possible to replace
just the fan on the stock Intel Pentium 4 3.0C w/ Hyper Threading... it's way too loud. Or do I have to get the entire heat sink/fan combo? I guess recommondations would be appreaciated. |

Is the fan loud on a hot day under stress or does it actually sound like it's grinding? Because if it's just the regular fan noise at 4500-5500 rpms, then that's normal. Try enabling Q-Fan if you have it, it worked for me. |

Try enabling Q-Fan if you have it, it worked for me. QFan is enabled and at the lowest ratio (11/16 or whatever it is). It's not grinding but it's much louder than anything else on the case. I just can't think that it's supposed to be like this. You do realise how much heat P4s generate right? If it's not squeaking or grinding, then yes - that's the level of noise it's supposed to be making. Others have bought a Zalman fan etc. but I don't mind the noise, especially since enabling Q-Fan. |

You need to replace the whole unit.

They replaced mine under warranty because it was very noisy, new one is a slightly different design and quieter. |

OK, thanks

I replaced the whole heatsink with a bigger with a respectable 8cm low speed
fan. In fact, the CPU gets some 5 degrees hotter under high load than with the original, but still not over 60 C. Normally runs at approx. 40. The best thing there's no high frequency noise.
