Model Airplane Weathering
Any Computer Techs Out There? 10 points?
I have a Dell Dimension 3000 with a P4 2.8 chip which in warm weather runs hot. It is fine in the cold of winter, but it races like an airplane ready to take off in the summer. My question is, can get I the junk fan (with a green shroud) replaced with a better cooling fan. I heard that Dell made their machines so that anything other than original parts will not fit or work on them. If it can be replaced, does anyone have a suggestion or model number on what fan is best to quiet this machine down. Thanks
that rumor that paul mentioned is bogus, and everyone knows it. you can still use that fan but you would need to add some thermal grease/paste to the processor and put the fan back on
but if i was you i would buy a new fan anyway along with the thermal paste/grase just to be on the safe side
here’s a link where you can buy a new fan:

and here’s a link where you can buy the thermal paste/grease

if you replace those 2 than your pc should be running just fine, summer or winter
