That link doesnt seem to work anymore. Can you please re-link the document? I am getting the same issue and my fan seems to be running fine.

if you look at the hp listed operating temp range for this workstation you will see it covers a wide range and if used in the upper temp range for extended time with all memory slots filled it's possible to have the system/memory exceed the range HP has listed if you do not add the missing fan

 

if the correct fan can not be found or for a reasonable price you should use a quality fan that matches the HP fan specs which is a high pressure fan rather than a high volume fan

 

here's what the HP kit looks like

you need to place the fan so it can cool the area's where the shroud has fans placed make your own fan brackets out of plastic (not metal!!)
