Mother board fan broke a blade, where can i get replacement?

[gretzky]

so i was vacumming the inside of my computer(bad idea) and one of the blades broke off the mother board fan, it still works fine but some times it rumbles when it turns on higher speed loads...

so my question is are all mother board fans the same size? could i get this at futureshop and if not where is a good place i can get one? i was at futureshop the other day but couldnt find one, i didnt ask the workers cause i was in a rush..

picture please

yes, a broke blade will cause annoying noise, even try to glue it back on. find out the size of your fan and NCIX should be the place you should go.

Break off another blade or two and see if you can balance it out

I hate motherboard fans. They make too much noise and they never seem to last very long.

Motherboard fan? You'll have to take a picture. If its one of those little chipset fans you might be able to find one at NCIX. Doubt bigbox retail store would have.
