Hello,
I'm slowly upgrading my early base spec X51 that came with the GT 545 and the I5-2320.
So far I've only swapped the HDD for a Samsung 840 SSD, but have a NVGA 760 GPU and Dell 330 power brick on the way from Amazon.
Like many, my X51 suffers from excessive heat and FAN NOISE, even with just the 545 fitted. I would like to improve cooling without cutting up the case and was wondering if anyone has upgraded the front fan? the one below the Alien head.
Fitting a better fan would surely increase the airflow if only by a bit. Anyone know of a good quality fan fit for the job?
I've looked myself but i'm not sure of the size I need? if anyone has any advice or help with sizes it would be much appreciated. Thanks Guys,
