      If u can buy the same sized fan....u can replace it...

      But before u try to find one....do this first.....

      Take that fan....open the behind........u will see a small opening...drop an oil into it......u can use any oil....olive oil or motor-engine oil........then spin it abit, let the oil grease the fan...

      Most faulty fans is due to the original oil being exhausted.

      LOL... you don't have to buy a whole new motherboard just for the fan. Check if there's dust. If enough dust accumulates, it can't spin well.

      And it will overheat fast.
