Hi
As above i need the secondary graphic cooling fan and the screws for the card and fan .... managed to finally get a secondary 4870 card but no fan or screws .
I have tried Dell UK and they say they cant or wont sell me them and i have googled till i can google no more .
Where on earth do you buy these from ?????
Can someone point me in the right direction please
Thanks

wished you lived in the states, otherwise I would have just mailed you the extra secondary one I have lying around. All my bookmarks are on my M17x which is down, however there are a few parts suppliers that can be found for us. Hopefully someone else can chime in, Otherwise free bump

Thanks anyway

going to go check the one I have to find out which one you need.
edit: you need the 605N one which is this one

the only problem I could see is that although they'll work, they might make the slightly annoying grinding noise that many M17x users suffer from the secondary fan. They look used so maybe they don't make the noise, however it's something to keep in mind. The full Dell P/N is 0F605N on my fan. The screws are secured to the fan, so you don't need to go looking for them too. -
Thank you very much ... i did see these on Ebay but wasnt sure which one i would need

Ok got everything i need now apart from the screws .. anyone know what size they are or where i can get them .... the fan and card i have bought do not come with screws . Just my luck
Thanks -
the screws are held to the fan via retention c clips, unless the seller removed them purposefully(which it doesn't look like he did from the pictures) then the screws come with the fan. I'm betting the seller just doesn't know this and knows he's just selling the fan when acutally the screws are there
-
I emailed him and he says no screws with it .... but i hope you are right .
How does this need to be so awkward ... i only need some screws of the correct size what ever that is
-
really couldn't say what size they are, my guess would be m2-3 x 5-7mm but I have no clue what thread pitch they would be.
