My fan on my 3-yr old computer failed so I got a new one. It is a Thermaltake for the P4, socket 478, obviously an old model (eg, no “manual” on their site).
It came w/no instructions. I have read about using thermal paste but do I really need to? I heard it voids any warranty. I have never installed one of these and I don’t want to ruin the cpu.
Anyone have detailed instructions?

This thing has died:

#1 Is it hard to replace this fan on my mobo chipset?

#2 Any suggestions on purchasing a new one?
Would this work?

Which is better? I know ball bearing, but what is sleeve?
Thanks. i think i’m gonna go with the aluminum sleet from newegg. $9.99 plus $5 ship. It was the cheapest i’ve seen. Tiger’s shipping is always too much where I live.

Earlier today, my husband replaced the blower wheel in our dryer. It seemed to work fine, but when I checked on the load we were drying, I noticed that the dryer itself was VERY, VERY hot. You couldn’t even put your hand on it, so you can image what the heat inside was like. My husband checked to see if maybe the exhaust hose was kinked or blocked, but it’s fine and is blowing out ridiculously hot air.

Any suggestions on what could be causing this? We’ve never had this problem before.

827 gazillion points to anyone who can figure this out.
Ok….he messed with it a little yesterday while I was out shopping and said that the tumble and low settings are working fine and will cycle off. It is only on the regular setting that it won’t cycle off.

I read it may be dangerous and there are like two teachers each claiming to be the one teaching the proper form of this meditation shrouded in secrecy. Madonna is among those reportedly entertaining/ practicing this new (for her) faith.
I indirectly stumbled on this (from my best understanding) an ancient jewish prayer/meditation that when faithfully practiced spin chakras in a specific pattern that enables a spiritual dimension of self to divide from the physical. If you are familiar with this can you explain it to me?
This IS secretive.
