I broke my Zalman 7000.. but I fixed it! I dropped something in the fan while it was powered on, hooray for open systems :bash: So to make it all even again I broke to other fins too: |
I discovered that by removing these screws on each side I could remove the broken fan: |
So I ended up with this: |
to remove the fan from the bracket 2 little screws need to be ... unscrewed: |
I took a fan I had lying around and removed it from it's bracket, aligned the holes with the bracket and screwed it back on, if that don't work good old instant-glue will do the trick also.. I choose a 80mm fan because I don't have any spare 92mm's :-/.. makes the Fan look ridiculously small of course: |
I have no idea of how it performs (yet) but the fan used is very silent (Aerocool ALU 8025) but doesn't produce much airflow (logically). I cleaned the bottom of the Zalman with some Arctic Clean from AS and was suprised how much dirt there was gathered there: |
What a waste of a good hsf... I hope the new one stil performs well. :) |
Not a waste; he saved it from ending up in the garbage can.;) |
If you can still remove the fan i'll ship you a special 92mm fan ... if you promise to post a picture when it's finished :D |
I screwed the fan in its place so it's defenitly removable, but the question of course is, that special 92mm fan, is it silent? ;) |
Don't know, it hasn't left it's package |
brand/model? anything I can find on [g]google?[/g] |
Ha, finally found it ... laying inside a case ... to be used in my future fathers pc. Forgot about that, sorry, i'll keep it :blush: |
do you have better temps? |
I have no tested it yet, but I doubt it, 92mm vs 80mm fan :) |
Don't throw it away if it performs badly, I've got a spare 92mm fan. *hint* *hint* :D |
I don't throw away anything ;) |
