I'm kind of in the same boat. My 6 year old dell sounds louder than it used to. I'm not super techno-savvy, so am a little afraid of mucking around inside the computer. I'm pretty sure I need a new fan. I'd prefer to get a good one that minimizes how much I have to move components around inside the case.
I've found the
technical specifications for my model, but I can't find what mm size the fan is. Once I've know that, what's the next step to insure compatibility? Do I need to check the power supply?
Thanks in advance!
