Title: X570 Gaming X chipset fan replacement – looking for a compatible replacement

Hello,

I have a Gigabyte X570 Gaming X motherboard and I'm having problems with the chipset fan.

On every cold startup, the fan makes a grinding noise for a short time. After it has been running for a while (I assume once it has warmed up), the noise disappears.

I opened the PC, removed the chipset fan, and lubricated the bearing with a small amount of oil. This definitely improved the situation the grinding noise is now much quieter, but it is still slightly noticeable on cold starts.

I'd like to replace the fan, but I haven't been able to find a compatible replacement anywhere online.

These are the specifications printed on the label of the fan:

  • Model: DC brushless cf4010h12c
  • Manufacturer:
  • Voltage: 0.11A
  • Current: 12

Does anyone know where I can buy an original replacement, or a compatible fan that fits the X570 Gaming X? I'm looking for something reasonably priced.

Thanks in advance!
