60mm fans?

The twin fans on my processor have gone very noisy so I'm looking for some replacements. They are 60mm x 10mm temperature controlled (thermister on fan) Everflow R126010DUT and I can't find anything anywhere.
Any ideas guys?





Cheers,
Raz

Thanks Alex, I have already tried them and they only stock 60mm x 25mm which won't fit.

Probably cheaper+easier to get a new CPU heatsink. The bigger the fan the slower it can turn and the quieter it will, theoretically, be. Mine has an 80mm fan on it.

What CPU is it for?

Most of the problem is due to the fact that it is a mini system with a specialised heatsink and duct.
Its an Epox Mini-Me with a 3.2Ghz Intel processor



Unfortunately there isn't room to fit larger fans and trying to get an answer out of Epox is difficult to say the least.



There are two fans - one on each end of the ducting

Again, those are 15mm thick jobbies and I need 10mm. I have found a couple which will physically fit but they are not temperature controlled so they will be running at full speed regardless of temperature.

Bluemoon - I'll give them a try next.

Great link! and I really thought my search was over but they refuse to supply to anyone other than a trade account

I will just add that I have never met a more obstructive 'salesman' he just couldn't be bothered to help me and just scoffed at my tiny order, refusing even to point me to a distributor

Don't feel bad Fozzie! I am waiting for some feedback now so hopefully my quest will be over soon.

btw that cooler has the right size (hooray!) but is not temperature controlled (boo!) but a valiant effort none the less

Hope you manage to get something sorted!

Have you tried taking the fans apart and lubricating the bushes or ball races? That usually fixes them.
