Does anyone know of a shop open, today, in the South Devon Area that sells 7cm CPU fans CPU is a Athlon 2800 with an aluminium heat sink to which the fan is screwedI have an 8cm one here if you want to pop over.. It might fit on just one corner which might get you going until you can source a proper one... I might have others - I'll have a look.Have you tried cleaning out any dust and fluff, then lifting the foil cover to the bearings and giving them a drop of thin oil?
If you're lucky enough to get a fan with real steel bearings!!!These days they are mostly plastic and putting any sort of oil on them is a sure fire way of killing them instantly.
