any such luck?

lolz this pissed me off soo much...
my fan for my CPU has been wobbly for the past 2 days. the fan starts to wobble and make a hella LOUD noise as it vibrates my whole tower.
so i decided so jamm some blue-tac into the back of the fan to try n keep it in place while i go get a new one. i was out of the house for 4 HOURS looking at every local comp shop for a fan till i finally found one for AU$50 (had speed control and heat-sink too) it was the only one they had. so i got that, get home and my old shotty blue-tac'd fan is working perfectly =.="

GGRRR:@ i almost smashed both of them...

anyone else had same luck as me?

Price of bus: $0.80
Price of blutac: $2
Price of new fan: $50
Look on ur face when u reliase u dont need one: PRICELESS

Woah $50 is quite expensive for a fan.. especially if you dont even need one :P

shouldnt this be in pc section?

yea $50 is alot but its max speed is 5500rpm's, and it weighs about 800grams (seriously)
and it has heat-sinks and manual speed controll + auto speed controll.

i was gonna put this in PC section, but i wanted to know if anyone else had such weird experiences about old stuff working once u've bought replacements or sumthing...

Can't say I've done that before :tp:

Unlucky m8. Sell it on eBay!

Or just take it back to the shop and get your money back?

Well, look at it this way, atleast you do not have to buy a continuing chain of hardware to eventually get it all working ;)

the old was a plain old fan with like 3k rpm's or sumthing
the new one's got 2 manual controlls with auto controll and heat-sink at 5.5k rpm's

yea the new one's hell better though ;)

LOL! Rish, i'd say if there is a god. He hates you. :)

if your fan was broken before, it likely will be again. I would replace the fan anyway.

so just think of it as a new treat for urself :D a much better cpu cooler ;)

Closet I've done was that this computer I had to fix. The processor wasn't working so I was running around the building looking for a spare one to put in the computer. After about 2 hours of seaching I found one and then looked at the computer and the processor was only slightly out of place. That pissed me off big time.

NoPeace - out

i got upset when people don`t give a chance the other`s who are more weak and don`t know as much...
Give a chance is worth it ....

Yea....i had my pc trashed for some time till someone helped me i was trying to make a double point......

lol i dont think u really understand the subject of this thread^^

Yeah. :P, Subject = Rish got jew'd by buying a fan he didn't need. LOL

Well atleast you have a nice new fan ;)

I once bought a stick of 512mb RAM coz i was having ram problems with my old 2x 256mb sticks (hl2 error). Plugged in the new ram.... Nope no help whatsoever! Waist of money!

MY bro had a faulty heat sync with his pc and his processer would like begin to melt each day :S.

When we actually took a look at it (We though the burning was from out side)

It was black....i still dont know how it survived :S.

Never bought another compaq though :P
