I just got a cpu cooling system (fan/heat sinc) the fan stopped working, ive blown it out and it still will not work. I dont feel the need to replace a brand new fan. Any ideas as to what went wrong with it?
Could have been a short on the system or it was just poorly made. If you don't replace it you will fry your processor. Todays heatsinks can not adaquitly cool todays processors. I'd suggest replacing it. Try a different namebrand from the one you got and see if you can return it due to the sudden death/short life of it.
Since it's a brand new fan, that's all the more reason to look into replacing it. See what kind of warranty you've got with it, or just take it back. For all we know, it could have been a dud straight from the factory.
Because new electrical equipment can go bad, they have warranties. Have it replaced! When you reinstall it, do it with Arctic Silver 2 (or higher) heat compound. It will drop the CPU temp by 10C compared to white silicon compound.
