I had that problem on a dual PIII 1.33 GHz CPUs with the same Intel
stock coolers. I would move the fans to clean and the dried up
plastic clip would break. Measure the fan size and order just the
fans, from Newegg or Cyberguys and use four sheet metal screws to
hold them in place. It doesn't take a lot to keep them cool.

I have a 'now' skreechy hs/fan on one of the P3-1000 cpu's of my

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
