    the default clevo d900k seems to have come with cheap fans. would replacing the fan with better quality fans improve cooling or at least make it more quiet? thanks.

    It may do, if you can find ones that fit. Check db ratings and how much air they can move.

    No you cannot replace the video card fan or the processor fans, they are designed to fit into the laptop. You cannot purchase fans, which will fit, they would have to be custom made.

    You can upgrade the harddrive/memory fan, but it takes a lot of work, and finding a powerful 5v fan is pretty challenging.
