Hello,

As the title says, I need a GPU side fan for this laptop. The original fan started making a rattling sound. Lubricating it with slightly viscous oil fixes it temporarily but the issue comes back after a week or two. The fan is also wobbling so I gave up on trying to fix it.

The service center says that the fans can only be bought as a pair for CPU & GPU. They quoted 6k and and need 20+ days to source it.

I would like to know where I can find a OEM / 3rd party replacement for this. I don't need the metal fin fans. Plastic is fine. Hopefully priced under 2k inclusive of delivery charges.

Also I do not mind having to do a bit of DIY to transplant a generic fan into the housing of the stock fan as long the size and thickness of the generic fan do not cause issues. Would love it if someone who has done this can guide me.
 
Yep it sucks that AliExpress is no longer accessible, that place literally had everything.

Although you could try to get stuff from Taobao, shipping and/or customs might hbe expensive though.
 
I picked this up from the post office today as I was out of town when the delivery was attempted. The shipment originated in China but was routed through Netherlands. No customs charges. It took little over 2 weeks so fairly quick all things considered.

It seems to be of good quality and is identical to the old fan but I don't have the laptop with me at the moment to test.
