The fan on my CPU has become loud and may be running out of balance judging
by the noise that it makes. The fan measured 40mm so I decided to use a low
revving 60mm fan with an adaptor. Now that I have come to fit the fan I
have found that the original fan that I measured as 40mm (from the centre of
the screw holes) is actually a 50mm fan (measured edge to edge). I live and
learn! The problem I now have is that although 40mm to 60mm adaptors are
easy to find, no one seems to stock 50mm to 60mm adaptors. Can anyone
advise where I can buy one? Failing that can anyone recommend a top
quality, perfectly balanced 50mm fan?
Thanks.
