Changed The CPU Cooling Fan On My Audio Recording - Music Computer
[ Friday July 24th 2020 at 2:41 pm ]
I purchased the computer I am using for my audio recording - music used. The CPU cooling fan and heat sync are so thoroughly coated in dust it is incredible. It reminds of me some scenes from Hotel Impossible. It is obvious the previous owner and the business I purchased it from didn't give it a cleaning.
I am starting to hear squealing coming from the computer. This is the cooling fan bearings burning out. I mail ordered a replacement cooling fan. It arrived. I just changed the CPU cooling fan. This isn't isn't a big deal. You do need thermal paste on hand in case the heat sync comes free. This particular computer involves 3 screws and the power connector cable. I am glad this job is off my "to do" list. I am one step closer in my pursuit of self employment.
