    Is this a proprietary pin out?

    Probably it has normal pin-out.

    Here you are, probably a fully proper one (at least the orientation is the same), far more compact, but still not going to fit in 5920G, if that's what you ask. It doesn't hurt to try, but you'll have to search for new fan.

    It's a "flipped" MXM, reverted 180 degrees. It will not fit any MXM2.1 notebook besides ASUS.

    well i was thinking if the pin out HAD BEEN correct but, flipped one could attache a bigger heat sink and spacers/bumpers/feet to the bottom of the notebook. it could technically be done with ANY mxm 2.1 TYPE: ANY if you could have some one make an MXM ribbon cable. they exist for PCIe on the desktop.
