Sorry just a quick FYI. I'm not a technical expert when it comes to computers! I bought this PC about 2 years ago. My processor is an AMD FX 8320 (3.5GHZ), it has a "Coolermaster Seidon factory sealed liquid cooling system", which I had to look up. The fan fitted on a heatsink (?), I think, which is connected to the cpu has stopped spinning. I recently noticed this when my PC just restarted randomly, I then saw the fan wasn't spinning so I assume my CPU is overheating.
I checked my temps when logging back in, 67°c was the highest I saw with HWmonitor. And this was without me playing games or doing anything intensive, it shut down shortly after. I didn't want to destroy my parts or anything, so I haven't actively used it since. Here is a picture: http://i.imgur.com/TgXE266.jpg
There are screws on the fan, so it can be taken off. I assume it can be replaced? Hopefully this isn't expensive because I lack the money just to buy a whole new system. Nor too technical because I see there's a red/black/yellow wire running through the motor down under my PC case and I'm not too sure how I would install it myself, or if it requires difficulty.
Please help if possible and thank you!
