CPU fan compatibility between T42p and T43p

#1 Post by lukee » Tue May 10, 2011 6:10 am

Hi, I have T43p with original fan, but it is noisy altough it is brand new. I got used fan from T42p, where only difference I can see is that heatpipes are quiet thinner than on T43p fan. According to information I found, the fan from T42p should be more silent. May I use the T42p fan with smaller heatpipes in T43p without overheating of my machine?

You can give it a shot. It will quiet down the machine for sure.

I've done the swap the other way around and it worked very well.

Worst case scenario, you can go back to the original fan.
