    I think something is wrong with the exhaust fan on my older m11x. I still use it daily and it still does great for what I want it to do. It does however sound like a friggin freight train. Does anyone know off the top of their head what size the fan is and if I can replace it? I grew up building computers but haven't messed around with this stuff for YEARS. any help would be great, Im really starting to get frustrated at the noise.
