Question Acer Veriton x2631 issue with fan. Can't find part to purchase.

[Novice Mom]

Hello:
I have an old Acer Veriton x2631 desktop computer. It recently started make a noise (likely the fan). However, I am unable to find a replacement part or the part number. How do I go about replacing this fan? I've upgraded the RAM and the HD to SSD, so it works just fine. So if I can get away with not purchasing another computer and just replace the part, I'd be elated.

Any advice is much appreciated.

If you're referring to the CPU's cooler;
https://www.amazon.com/Sparepart-Acer-Heatsink-Lga1155-DC-10811-012/dp/B01DQXBCGS


You didn't mention your location but you can look for that CPU cooler on other sites using this part number;
DC.10811.012

On a side note, you might want to try and clean the innards, that might help alleviate the noise in yoru prebuilt.

Hi Lutfij,

That looks like the exact part. Oh My Goodness, thank you so much. I lightly cleaned with a Q-tip. 😅 I don't have compressed air in can yet. it's still making noise. I'll get compressed air today to clean it better. May I ask how you figured out the part number? I did my due diligence to look for it, but was unsuccessful (e.g., Google, looked at computer components, amazon, parts companies, ebay).

You're the best, Thank you again!
