I have a 'now' skreechy hs/fan on one of the P3-1000 cpu's of my server.
Suspect the other hs/fan will join the opera in due time!
I would guess that the server's cpus may be 5+ years old. From my read
of my old server (Intel) pdf files, I believe that the HS/Fan's are
stock Intel as supplied with the cpus. The snap on fans are Sanyo-Denki
and do have Intel decals as bearing covers. For now, I will lubricate
the top bearing of the fan and continue until replacements are in-hand,
or, total EOL failure.
I really need to replace both HS/Fans. Direct RPL would be nice. LOL!
Replacement requires a complete server tear apart (for me). Intel
printed paragraphs cautioning about clearances around the P3 sockets on
the STL2! Ain't old stuff so much fun?
Does anyone have some commercial links or "old-part" contacts to share?
Not a crisis. The machine works fine. Recently upgraded in fact! Just
need to fix this by 3Q 2011.
Thank you.
Best,
Duncan
