After doing a little more research, I have one more question regarding changing my CPU fan.
An article I read said that I must check the compatibility of the new fan that I am going to use as a replacement for my 7+ year old CPU fan because it must blow at the same speed as the original fan;otherwise, the BIOS may not recognize the fan.
How do I find out if the specifications of the new fan are the same as the old one? I already purchased a 80 mm fan but I'm not sure if it is the correct one to be placed on the heatsink.
Thank you.
