Question

Aaaaargh!!! My CPU Fan Has Died!!!

My electricity ran out so my power was cut. Went to the shop to put money on my key, bunged it in the meter. Power back on. Turned on my PC and it stopped mid-boot saying the CPU fan was buggered.

Tried bunging it in the Opt Fan socket but does the same thing. Starts spinning then speeds up and slows down.

Bloody thing.

Going to get myself a Noctua D15 I think, should have done that when I built my machine instead of going for a Cooler Master 212 Evo.

Oh well, there goes 80 quids worth of my Yaw VR Motion Simulator ???

    Which D15 did you get?  There is the D15 and the D15S.

    You do know that if the fan on CPU cooler dies, you just buy a new fan, don't you? You don't need to replace the entire cooler.



    Yup, but I decided to go the whole hog and get a whole new cooler instead. It's cost me more but not getting the D15 in the first place was the only thing I've regretted with my rig so I thought, sod it, I'll just get what I SHOULD have bought in the first place.

    I got the D15. ?

    You get an extra fan with the D15 and I've got sensible, standard height RAM so no need for the extra height that the D15S has.
