    Hi guys,

    I have been using alienware since more than a year. Lately, my GPU fan started to mess up and it creates lots of noise. Hence I am planning to replace.

    Can you please point me to some good dealers on ebay whom you have worked with am happy to buy from them.

    Also I see many Fan's from Area 51 m15x like the one as below:

    New CPU FAN 4 Alienware Area-51 M15X ZB0506PGV1-6A | eBay

    OEM Alienware Area-51 M15X Cooling Fan ZB0506PGV1-6A | eBay

    Also I see lots of cooling fan (area 51 M15x) not sure whether they are for GPU as they don't mention explicityly the GPU fan.

    Can any of you guys help me find the perfect the GPU fan for my Alienware M15x.

    Thanks.

    thehunterooo, look up, I already filtered a search on eBay with the proper fan model. Most of the ones in your search include the area-51 m15x fans which can be misleading.
