Recently, the largest fan on my MSI GS66 Stealth was making a horrible clicking sound, running very low RPM in Dragon Center, then finally decided to die. Are there any replacements that are reliable, because I am not very well versed in buying parts. The fan, I believe, is the GPU fan on the far left when opening the laptop. Thank you ahead of time for any patiences that has to be used with me, just because I have been playing games my whole life, does NOT mean I know a thing about how lolimage.thumb.png.a6bc8a5f6bfa47c56e78ec2b38f8c439.png

  1. You need to verify which fan. It would suck to replace the wrong one. 
  2. Figure out if you have the skills and tools to replace it. 
  3. Look online for a vendor that sells it; don't be fooled, Google does not have all the answers. There are a lot of vendors online that seem to be invisible. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
