    Hello so I got this Gateway p-7805u laptop that I'm gonna clean up, (clean heatsinks, fans, replace thermal compound) And I was wondering if I wanted to replace the cpu and/or gpu fans what would I look for? I thought I read about someone who replaced his with some ASUS fans and they did a better job of cooling. But I don't know specifically what to look for, size of fan, compatible with this computer etc. Can anyone make a recommendation for a replacement cpu and gpu fan for this model. I want to put some in that do a better job of cooling, and I want to keep the old ones around as a backup. Thanks

    Edit: I found a few sites that list the specific replacement fan for this model. But They are all sold out, even used ones, one said even said there is a waiting list for the part. So is there another fan to use? When I get the computer pulled apart I'll take the fans to some shops and see if I can find some matching fans (connector and dimensions etc)
