I found a mere 7 for the socket and they were not something I'd consider "better" than the stock. Information about sites available or input about particular coolers would be greatly appreciated. …

I have an HP dv2911us. Everything is stock in it--haven't changed a thing. When sitting idle on the desktop screen, I can hear the fan turn on and off about every 3 seconds. I'd really like the laptop to not make as much noise. What can I do? Thanks.

Hi, I have a brand new and unused but not boxed 140mm blue led fan. I would like to swap it for a 120mm blue led fan. I am in the UK, shipping it outside of the UK would be too expensive.
