Broken CPU fan!

Gee, thanks, I already bought the one from eBay!
But yes, it came with the whole green assembly and stuff. I'll just throw out the one I have, put the new one in. Hey, it's less dust that way

I use the air compressor in the garage to blow out all the computers.

120 psi and a small jet nozzle

I actually took some WD40 and sprayed it in there... and now the fan runs quiet! My sister was complaining about it squeaking, despite me saying I'll have a new one in a few days.

It's probably short-lived though, even with WD40 it was squeaking unless I positioned the blades just right. I give it a week at most.

My jet nozzle has a rubber tip on it so I do not have to worry about hitting the case with it. I blow out the computer every other month or so.
