CPU fan is making noise ...i figured out reasons:

Cable is hitting the fan causing a vibration.

And may be also CPU fan is loose causing vibration...

suggest options...


i cleaned the fan ...but found that there is no heatsink compound /paste between processor and the fan..is it ok ..should i apply heat sink compound.

How to correct the cable vibration...


My processor is p4 2.4 ghz

motherboard intel 845gvsr

if i have to buy new fan ..which brand should i go for ..and estimated cost ?!
