I'm thinking of buying a new cpu fan for my helios 300 because its been making this weird noise and slowing down to a crawl at random and cleaning out the fan doesn't seem to have had much of an effect on solving the issue. Anybody know what kind of fan I should get to replace the old one and where I can get it?

    Did you tried to oil the bearings with a proper electronics spray some say it works but if not just get a new one (from aliexpress maybe) or if still on warranty contact acer support for a repair/replacement

    There is no definitive location to purchase fan replacements other than looking at local resellers & part stores and finding one there.

    Can you set the fans to the "Custom" setting in Predator Sense then screen shot the RPMs they have with the sliders set at their default 0 (center)?
