Introdução
A computer's fan is one of its most important components. It is integral in keeping the processor cool. A computer that runs hot can risk melting the motherboard, therefore the fan plays an important preventative role. Excessive noise is a symptom of a failing fan. Make sure to check for compatibility before purchasing a new fan to install.
