You can buy after market one at a computer store…
Take your whole set-up, or at least as much as possible out to Microcenter at about 92nd and Metcalf in OP, K.
West side of Metcalf.
They’re THE best, if not only retail supplier on build yer own ‘puter stuff.
They’ve got on-the-floor type ppl who’ll know exactly what you need, even if they don’t have it.
If they’re stumped try calling newegg.
The online equivalent +++.
Source(s): 15 or more years of buying from http://www.microcenter.com/, newegg. and having never bought an assembled pc since windows 95.
whilst disabled, your cpu fan runs at a continuing velocity all of the time. whilst enabled, the followers velocity differences with the temp of the cpu. as quickly as you’re using it and the temp rises, the fan speeds up; whilst the laptop is idle, the cpu temp drops, and the fan slows down, so as this is quieter and using much less skill.
