[SOLVED] Intel I7 Cooler--Shop replaced

[bikemanI7]

Hello All, recently my Asus G11CD-K Desktops cpu fan started making a very loud like grinding noise, then had a bios alert on system restart for CPU Fan speed error

Will shop just put in another Intel Stock Heatsink or a 3rd Party upgarded one, depending on if one fits in the OEM Case?

Front fan can't put in, as System has a bar across where front fan would normally go, think bar is for running the RGB lightning for the case on the side

I don't got much money, so hopefully Shop can just replace CPU Fan/heatsink and system runs great after that, kinda worried they'll suggest a new case, and charge more in labor or something.

Why don't you look up some videos on heatsink replacement? It's a fairly simple procedure and will save some money.

A good shop would ask you if you want OEM or aftermarket and quote some prices.

Get a better 3rd party CPU cooler.
Do not go with Intel cooler, they are loud and barely can keep temps down.
To find out compatible coolers, just measure from the motherboard to the edge where side panels are installed.
If you post measurements, we could recommend some units.

Ok will mention aftermarket cooler when they call with options, It's OEM Asus G11CD-K Case, did look up videos on it, but still wasn't too comfortable yet, so decided i guess shop best choice in this matter. I'd install a front fan, but don't think it has room for one as far as i know

this is the exact system specs i bought in 2017, and case

PC at the shop currently, so gonna wait til they call with the options after looking at it, and go from there think at this point

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo is a very good inexpensive cooler.
