Sorry to try and resolve newegg customer service questions at Annandtech, but...
Have a 733 Pentium III... I can hear what sounds like the CPU fan loosing a bearing (slows like it's under load a times... can sometimes hear the bearing failing, etc)
It looks to be the stock Intel sink and fan assembly (FC-PGA). I'd just like to mount a new fan, assuming I can find one, rather than the heatsink, etc. Problem is, finding the FC-PGA part for Pentium III.
I see FC-PGA for Celerons, but all of the PIII specs refer to FC-PGA 2. Anyone offer advice. Is replacing the whole unit (heatsink and fan) more problematic or less so as I've never mounted on to a cpu before.
Failing any of the above, can someone direct me to a manufacturer or reseller that can actually have someone available to answer these questions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
