So i am getting a CyberPowerPC - Gamer Ultra Desktop - AMD FX-Series - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive from my in-laws they bought it and had the CPU fan go out and instead of trashing it my father-in-law is giving it to me. The issue is i cant figure out what would be a good replacement fan for it can anyone giving me any good ideas or instructions thank you in advance. If you can post a link to a good replacement i would be grateful.


the CPU is a FX-4300 quad core

that's pretty much a stock cooler on their now which is expected for a bulk made cyberpower pc.

pop the door open and do a quick measure from the base of the cooler to the side of the case. then the rest is nice and easy picking one :)

i'd expect 6.5" roughly but better safe than sorry.

The cooler master 212 is a larger 6.3inch but lower price cooler. The cryorig is a smaller 5 inch cooler but higher price. Both cool about the same so the question is which will fit in the case. Measure from the top of the CPU to the case side door.

you'll need to know what size cooler the case can handle. the 4300 won't get too hot so you won't need a massive one but you'll need to know how tall it can be and whether ram sticks are in the way to know a specific model to get.

you'll need to wait until you have it in your hands and can measure inside the case unless you know the exact case it has so we can google it and see if it says what it can handle.

It's hard to say much from that pic, looks like a fairly typical basic cooler. But at the angle and picture quality, there's no way to gauge the distance from the top of your CPU to the case - use a ruler or a tape measure for that.
