My CPU fan needs to be replaced because it's completely messed up. It makes a horrible rattling sound constantly and no amount of cleaning fixes it. Took it to a computer shop and their staff said that it has to be replaced. It is specifically the CPU fan, as the GPU fan still works fine. However, I need to know whether I can replace it with any good fan available. Or do I have to replace it with the exact same model? Because acquiring the same model is difficult as it doesn't seem to be available in the local market.
Meanwhile, ordering it online will also be an issue as it seems like I can only get it from China, which is quite worrying because of the whole Coronavirus situation. As specified in the title, my laptop is the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 2QE. It has the 4th generation i7 CPU. I believe it's the Intel Core i7-4720HQ if I remember correctly. Would appreciate any technically informed person here letting me know if I can replace its fan with a fan of a different model without facing any issues. Thanks.
