i’m having problems with my cpu fan again. it’s a good thing i bought an intel otherwise my processor would have been fried a long time ago. this time tho, it wasn’t the fan that died; it was the connector on the motherboard, so i guess i’m going to buy a new motherboard somewhere…maybe i’ll go for a dual processor one. in the meantime, i’ve been putting my recently acquired thermo knowledge to good use and running my computer fanless. it runs surprisingly well (better than having a dead fan on) but unfortunately my computer runs just as loud as when it had a fan.
