    I'm using my good old G73JH since 5 years now and plan to sell it soon, the problem is that the GPU fan makes (only on boot) a weird noise, probably a broken ball-bearing.

    What's the model number for the replacement part? I found for example KSB06105HB on Ebay.


    The i7-720, 8GB RAM, ATI 5870M, 128GB SSD, 750GB HDD, Bluray-drive make it even nowadays still a good laptop, I just don't need it anymore so I want to sell it while it has still quite some value.

    You can double check but fans are the same just placed in a different orientation I believe. You can find the "CPU" fan everywhere.

    The link doesn't work.

    That means I could simply buy a CPU fan for a G73JH to replace the GPU one? Great :)

    Sorry, looks like Asus just redid their estore as the layout is now different. Unfortunately I can not find the fan now.
    They probably still have it since they did yesterday, you may want to give the phone number a call and ask them directly. I promise it was there yesterday :)

    Yes I saw the link too and yes you just turn it around and it should fit in.
