Replacement fan for AIW 8500 DV?

[Ian R]

Hi

The fan on my AIW 8500 DV is geeting very noisey.

I'd like to change it before it dies.

Anyone know of a suitable replacement?

Thanks for any info

A fan that works on some models of 8500 is discussed at

Alternatively you can remove the old heat sink and replace it with a new
one--you have to break the epoxy bond to do
this--<http://www.ocforums.com/archive/index.php/t-342076.html> covers all
of the various methods that I have seen described--I am not going to stick
my neck out so far as to recommend one. Arctic Silver makes a couple of
thermally conductive epoxies specifically for attaching heat sinks.

I don't know of a good replacement offhand.
