Hi pritesh123,

Thank you for your response,

It’s great to know that you’ve updated the BIOS and  also were able to remove the dust and after checking we’ve found a couple of Heatsink / fan’s which are compatible for your computer. Since you’re computer was shipped with Intel Celeron  / Intel Core 2 Duo processor and here are some heatsink / fan’s which will create low noise and provide greater functions. Please click on the link below to check the same, compare and you can install them accordingly.

Hi Munawar,

I have cleaned the fan/heatsink with compressed air and have removed as much dust as possible, the BIOS is already updated to the latest version.

Can you confirm what replacemet/aftermarket heatsinks/fans will work please. The issue is more to do with the noise produced by the fan, not the temperature itself.

Thanks

Thanks Munawar,

Do you know if any of the following heatsinks are compatible, as it owuld be easier for me to order from a uk retailer.
