Hi,

I got an error message that the CPU fan had stopped working and it had. It has a shroud duct on the fan. Do I need a "genuine" HP part or will the shroud snap off. Anything special I should know?

Thanks in advance

@RogerAlley,

This picture does not show a fan shroud. It should just snap off. HP 270 - pxxseries.JPG

Just unplug the fan to verify 3 or 4 pin.

You can measure the fan.

Fans are generic manufacturer. Just avoid the low speed - silent fans, the

RPM of these will trigger a "fault" with the sensor.

I purchased what I thought looked like a replacement fan and it fit perfectly, looks exactly like the original and is sooo quiet.  It's a Cooler Master DC12 045A.  $22.49 with free shipping.  Arrived in a couple of days and it's fantastic!
