I have been listening to my fan dying. Getting louder all the time (shot
bearings or bushing or whatever it has). So I know that my old was turned.
And the unit ran hot.
Now with the new fan in, it is not turning at all, but the unit is
actually cooler than before, but still hot to touch. Could be better
contact with the heatsink.
Either I put the power connector on backwards (the manual's pic is not
clear on this, but I don't know if that connector CAN be put on
backwards), or there is something with the bios with this new fan...
