UK source for good quality socket 7 sized fans

I want to replace the fans (not the HSF) on two socket 7 sized heat
sinks. The current fans are about 45mm diameter. Most fan suppliers
only have 60mm and 80mm parts (and tiny 40mm low flow parts).

The CPU's are AMD k6 2 at 300Mhz and Celeron at 300Mhz.

I could buy new HSF units and change the fans but I'm looking for
better quality parts than those found on most new HSF units.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Here's a question about that: how did you plug it in? Did it still have the same power connector as a CPU fan??

You might laugh, but this worked for me. I went and bought a 4"inch AC cooling fan from Radio Shack. I took off the side of my CPU case, and cut a hole in it, and mounted the fan. I took one of the drive bay covers off to allow for the increased air flow, and walla, you can actually feel a nice breeze coming from my computer. The 4" AC fan is whisper quiet, and keeps everything cool.

Here is all the specs if you have a Radio Shack near you to look at it.

120VAC 4" Fan

$22.99 Brand: RadioShack
Catalog #: 273-241 Model: 273-241
(Pricing and Availability may vary outside
the contiguous 48 United States.)

Provides powerful 65CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow. Size: 4-11/16x4-11/16x1-1/2". 22 watts.

Just took an old plug cord I had saved, and spliced it right in and plugged
it in..

Try using a 50mm case fan.

Thanks for that. I located a Sunon 40mm unit with a flow rate of
8.9cfm at theoverclockingstore. I'm now trying to find out whether
that is enough flow to cool the cpus involved. I looked at some cooler
manufacturers web sites but since 300Mhz is long gone they didn't
help. Any ideas on that?

Best thing to do is to post a message with this question on one of the
overclocking ngs or the forums on either of those websites I mentioned. I
find the ngs better personally. Those guys know things about flow rates that
no 'normal' person should! :-)))

I got two Dynaeon 50mm fans from from PCLincs. Total cost inc. vat and
delivery £20.64. Result!

Try ebay.co.uk

or try maplin electronics.

Computer fairs are also a good source.
