Heatsink fan failed :( - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Coolermaster V8 fan died! I'm so mad! My gaming PC is the only thing keeping me distracted while waiting for my Camaro to be built.

If I can't fix it, I may have a mental break down. Hahaha

That stinks. Sorry to hear about that :(

Ouch sorry to hear that. My friend built a pc two years ago and had a V8 in it, not the easiest to install by yourself, it took 3 of us to hold the beast steady and screw into place.

How was the performance on it? What kind of processor was it cooling?

The last rig I built has a CoolerMaster Aquagate Mini-80 that had a recommended lifespan of 2 years. It's been, and I kid you not....6 years!!! Still running strong, only a degree or two warmer on average!

I love this fan. Only problem is I upgraded my board and processor and it doesnt fit. I keep forgetting to order an adapter to upgrade the POS intel Fan on it now.

Well I built my rig alone. What a pain in the ass! NEVER again will I endore that BS. Next PC will be from DigitalStorm....

Anyway, my system has been stable for about 9 months - 1 year. I can't remember my temps, I think it was about 35c and 55c under load.

I read online that I can remove the fan without taking the whole cooler off the mobo. I do have a spare fan, so we'll see...

I could try to game without the fan, but I can't afford a new PC right now...

well the fan should be replaceable. I had a CPU/heatsink fan fail on one of my PCs. I unplugged it from the motherboard and detached it from the CPU and found a replacement of same size with same plug (the one that connects to the motherboard) and had it installed within a few minutes and I was back in business
