Gentle sirs, I am not sure what manufaturer it was although very much not 'CPU-Cool' fans.
We had just recently (<2-3 months) & the cheeeaaapppppp fans had no bearings , I Swear it, and failed in that time frame to the point of over heating the CPU . The fan had actually stopped rotating. 8-{
& was just a real small (relatively) heater. If I can find the gut of the dead one I'll post the manufacturer.
