A quick search on ebay shows loads of 40mm fans for around 2 and a half quid. May be of help depends on the type of heat sink it screws onto.
It's the heatsink that's the issue. It's a custom thing with a circular cutout for the fan, which is screwed down into the heatsink in two places.
I wondered if anyone had every found someone who sells anything other than the square-frame 40mm fans, or who had managed to rejuvenate one which was (apparently) coming to the end of it's life.
Since I don't do any gaming I might just pull the fan off and see how hot it gets without one, or would that be unwise?
