Help with Broken fan (Dell)

[Mysteriouskk]

My fan broke from my Dell computer

Here is the fan Click Here

Since $60.00 is really great!!!(sarcastically)......... can you tell me if I can get any other fan to replace it?

and if so, where can I get the same size fan? Thanks, and according to that website, the fan is 92x32. Is that a default size or propietary?

any other 92mm fan should be fine. pick up a medium flow panaflo or something for a 7th of the price

Buy 90mm fan from any vender, connect to molex.

Here's an almost direct replacement Delta 92mm fan will need to cut and splice the lead wires so you'll have the correct connector for your mobo connection. $2.00 a lot better, eh? And these guys are great people Thermal FX and I see a couple of them there that might work.
. I found out that the third wire on your fan is a thermal sensor, not a tach lead. So if you use a non-exact replacement, you will want to use a 2-wire fan or cut the tach lead. Did you bother to try contacting Dell about a replacement? I'm sure they won't try to stick you for $60...

. And this looks like it might be an exact replacement: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/nmb92lowsp36.html

Yes, it is, and it costs a whopping $5! And if the connector is different, just splice the Dell connector onto the new fan.

$60. What an effing ripoff....
