Fan Phun
July 05, 2005 ( geek )
So, I replaced my fan with one for an 8100 (the only Parts-People had in stock). It's 3W instead of 6W, and the max speed doesn't seem to be as high as the 8200 model. I need to put it through the paces of Unreal Tournament to see how it handles 100% CPU for a while. Hopefully I won't have to replace it, as it's a %%^%$&#$#@@$###$%#$&**^$#!! tough component to replace -- it requires wiggling out the motherboard from a very, very tight wedging that Dell thought fit to burden us with.
It's behaving at the least better than one-fanning was going, so I can get by for a while.
I also took the opportunity to suck it up and buy a new optical drive, so hopefully I can write CDs again. It at least plays DVDs.
