Hello everyone!
So, I have a HP Pavilion M7680n set up as an htpc (mainly for light tasks, movies and office work) https://support.hp.com/lv-en/document/c00739902 -even after 11 years it still gets this job done (with a few upgrades down the road) and I will like to keep it going.
The problem I have is that recently the CPU cooler fan is starting to fail (It makes loud noises like the bearing is worn out and sometimes the fan takes a while to spin at startup). The Issue is that the Cooler Master fan is 92mm and mounts with 4 long (30mm) slim screws in the CPU heatsink(stock) which in turn is held in the socket by 4 screws in a plastic bracket (so fans with clips wouldn't work naturally). Could you recommend me a decent quality fan that could fit? (Sorry for not being able to post an image at the moment)
Thank you for your answers!
