    Hello everyone, so begin this week my cooling does really strange noise, when the fan starts to turn it is as if he is touching something and yeah the noise comes but not always sometimes it is quiet sometimes like really loud.

    Ofcourse i was curious what was that so i opened the notebook, got the cooling with heatsink, checked it, even opened the fan it self got all the stuff from it now it is clean etc, but it still make noise, so i suppose the fan i wore up and need to be replaced.

    But the question now is, where can i buy that cooling stuff, on dell website or ..? And i need it fast i mean i dont want to wait like few weeks, i rather buy at a local store but i dont know do they even sell those?
    And yeah my notebook is already 2 and a half years old so no garantie anymore.

    So any idea where to get the cooling?

    Replacing wont be the problem cuz it isnt that hard.
