A cpu & fan combo that I use for odds and ends has an extremely loud fan when it ramps up.
It's been a while, but I believe the fan came with the cpu. It is a
AVC (Asia Vital Components) 80mm standard fan Model #DS08025T12UP033
There are three things I would like to do:
1. Replace the fan
2. get some good software to check the cpu temperature (windows xp)
3. height is a consideration. I have to cut off the top rim of the fan and poke holes in the sides to get it to fit and get air flow.
Please suggest a replacement fan and some software I can download from a trusted site.
should I consider a cooler that does not cost an arm and two legs?
I should have mentioned that I'm using windows xp in this case.
thanks
