damage to fan

Stock Athlon heatsinks tend to take 70mm fans, but you can always improvise with larger fans.

Ya order on of these, pair it with a 80mm fan and you will have an even better heatsink. I would make sure to get a 3 pin 80mm fan though, so you can still plug it into your mobo, unless it doesn't matter if your cpu fan is at 100% all the time.

Is the damage really that bad? I snapped a blade off my big a** 120mm Panaflo fan (these thing are monsters and NOT cheap) I got a bit of super glue and you would never even guess it was even broken. Just make sure you glue it on as accurate as possible or you will still have vibration problems.

the bearins will hold for a while.. im not so much concerned about that.. however, the vibration does. i would replace the CPU fan, because with a bit of bad lcuk, the vibration looses the heatsink from the CPU,.. and thats bad buisness

Just set the motherboard shut down temperature to xx degrees Celsius and if the fan breaks, it will shut down....
