    Hello everyone! I really hope someone here can help with this situation, I've tried everything ..

    It's been a couple of months now with my Fan dead in my CPU heat sink. I've tried to hold it over but due to the high stress of the system (Im an animation major) The cooling pad isn't helping anymore.

    I tried to find a new fan through Ebay, Amazon, Ztronics and basically all the websites everyone has directed me too .. I even called alienware to no avail.

    Would anyone perhaps know a better place I can find the old CPU Heatsink or just the fan please?

    Thank you so much,
