Alienware Aurora ALX Chipset Fan is making noise
My chipset fan is making a lot of noise. But it looks like it is still working, because the temperature is ok.
My plan is to get a new fan, but i don't know where i can order one that will match.
Does anyone know where i can buy one?

Tesla1856,
Does the AW prompt with any messages if they use those 3rd party fans?

Used RJN3m http://bit.ly/JHfd0p
Or you can call Dell Spare Parts 1-800-357-3355 and ask for the part number for prices and availability.

I get my (special or non-standard) Dell fans here:

Just make sure the new one is a proper replacement for the bad one.

RJN3M Flextronics 12v Memory Fan. Shipped in the Alienware Aurora-R1/2/3/4. I found several on ebay. It's hard to see any writing on the fan in the picture below from Bartal.

Is it noise or just running high speed? The latest Alienware software update made mine run at high speed so I went back to an earlier version of the software. Problem solved.
