CPU Heatsink Fan Replacement

Choosing the Right Replacement Fan

When selecting a replacement CPU fan, consider the following factors:

• Compatibility: Ensure the fan is compatible with your CPU socket and heatsink.

• Size: Choose a fan that fits within the available space in your computer case.

• Airflow: Look for a fan with sufficient airflow (CFM - cubic feet per minute) to effectively cool your CPU.

• Noise Level: Consider the fan's noise level (dBA - decibels) if quiet operation is important to you.

• RPM: Higher RPM (revolutions per minute) fans generally provide better cooling but may also be louder.
