hey ppl

my stock amd 64 3000 heat sink Fan has Stopped working..

it would first run at around 4500-4900 RPM speed… wheni checked last time

now then one day i noticed my cpu temp was too high… in PC probe

so opned up the cabinet… i noticed the CPU fan was not spinning… i gave some push it started to spin… then i again checked it was spinning at 1200-900 RPM and then it again stopped in middle…

so i cleaned it up… and checked again but this time it didn’t even spin when i gave it a push…

Frist i thought my Motherboard CPU FAN pin or my PSU is screwed up…

so i hacked the CPU FAN Connector and removed the Ground(black) & +12v(Red) Wires… and pluged in directly in PSU molex connector …

BUT Still it Didnt Spin… :frowning:

So now WTB a NEW Cooler

Should i Go for original AMD stuff or Some other??

how Much it will Cost

Will Buy From Lamington Rd as i m from mumbai

my budget 500-800

PLZ HELP :wink:

Arre just get any AMD cooler Lamington Rd anything that fits into the socket :stuck_out_tongue:

another thing you could do is just replace the fan on that heatsink :stuck_out_tongue: you can buy a 70-80mm fan for under 200 bux and just replace it, It will work just fine

thanks man for ur suggestion… going tomm to get one…

can u name any specific model??

^^ Not available AFAIK when I required, just ask for someone here in TE who has one lying around…

since the 70mm fan is not so easy to find , just get a high speed the 80mm fan , like delta or NMB, why i suggest u high speed fan cos u can control the cpu fan speed from the mother board itself.

Panaflo/NMB 80mm fan, High Speed, FBA08A12H

Try to get Glacialtech Igloo 7220 (AMD) from theitwares.com for Rs.400/-. In some review, I happened to read that it is better than the stock fan.
TheITWares - Cooler Master

Mods pl remove the link if against rules.

so u mean to say that i wont get an amd HSF or the 70 mm fans??? form lamington rd.
ho man then i m really stuck!

and yeah one more thing even if i manage to get that 70mm fam how would i know that it would run at 4000-4500 rpm..??

Try this first…it may work for you … I did it to my Antec 120mm fan a few days back as it had become very noisy and now its absolutely quite… put very little oil…

Fan maintenance - oiling bearings for fun and profit!

there is an asus hsf for amd.. costs 450+ tax, thats in bangalore.. so u can try n ask for the same in mumbai =)

Buy one 70mm fan with 3pin molex connector to replace the amd fan. That will seve ur purpose. Shn’t cost more than Rs.200/- as in Delhi /Kolkata. I can give Delhi (mallisen computer,nehru place) and Kolkata (chadni) dealer’s address, if reqd.

hi guys,

finally i solved my problem,

i was not able to find the 70mm fan so i modded my own, i used a old power supply exhaust fan 120mm that was lying around, now my cpu is running at 33C previously it used to hover around 40C… and it dosent make noise too

Pl explain how you managed to mount the 120mm fan, since I would like to try it out.

13

well .. i just removed all the internals of original amd 70mm fan i mean the motor.. so that i get the outer square only… then i stuck the 120mm fan on top of 70mm fan square with fevistick (note: make to put the 120mm fan correctly:cool2: ) there will be spaces left so just put industrial ducty tape around it… and mount it.. on the heatsink…
