Is there anything you DIDN'T need to remove? I really don't think I trust myself to dissemble my computer to that extent.

@Arrohon I understand that removing all of the parts just to gain access to the CPU fan can be a bit tedious, however; I would recommend following the tutorial guide step by step to ensure you gain complete access to the CPU fan without potentially compromising any other components.

Hey guys, I have the same computer and my fan makes a lot of noise like its touching the plastics parts that covers it. I think it might be because of the overheat over the passed years, it folded a bit because of the melting. Do you think it just needs a good cleaning or should i change it. and if i need to change it, i red all the comments and I dont know whats the thermal paste. Could you guys explain to me where it goes and how and when should i put it. Thanks a lot for your support

[dellpartspeople]

@lala123love It sounds like you might need to go ahead and replace you cooling fan. Thermal paste is applied in between the processor and the heat sink. Its purpose is to help properly dissipate the heat that is produced by the processor. I would recommend 'Arctic Silver' which you can find at our website.

[Yukisho]

What kind of thermal paste am I suppose to use? I got a new fan and it came with a tube of drg33

[dellpartspeople]

@Yukisho I would recommend Arctic Silver. Artic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity.

(While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.)

the things that hold the ribbon cables in place, the little black plastic things that you lift up to release the ribbon cables. what are those called and where can i buy replacement ones? cause i lost mine and have to keep the cables in with duct tape.

Great Scott! That's pretty much a complete dis-assembly to replace the cooling fan! Great video.
