Ok I asked before if the fan was supposed to be wicked loud. Well I think mine is crapping out now. The thing screams like it has a bad bearing. My question is can I disconnect the fan and put a USB fan to blow on it and provide the cooling? I would even put 2 on it since they are so quiet. One pointed at the heat sink and one at the other side. Ohh and is the fan easy to remove?
Same issue .
I pulled the bad fan and I run very well using an external fan.
I think three fans are reported as defective by you me and a third person
I have a video of them on YouTube wait for it:
Boom here it is
