So did the new fan just die on me after a day?

Yes. Take it back, it's a dud.
also what at0m said
I see no bitching, I see innocent questions?
Return that shit Didzo, you got a faulty fan.
Also get one that's externally controlled pl0x. Then you can give the CPU more cooling than the slow ramp up that auto fans have at any given point. A.K.A. a cooler CPU and a longer lasting CPU.

Thanks for the sage advice Atom. What would I do without you?

---------------------
I'm going to call the store and see if I can't do a partial swap for the fan/heatsink since getting the backplate on and off is a bitch.
I'm not sure if the store has CPU coolers that are externally controlled. Wouldn't just setting the fan speed to 100% and disabling "cool 'n' quiet" and whatnot have the same effect?
Was finally going to get the last achivement i need to complete The Binding of Isaac at 100% (Finish Depths without getting hit), had an awesome set, full fly shield, bible in hand, about to fight against mom. Â Think to myself "Man, those Tweetdeck updates are blocking my view, time to get serious". Alt-Tab the thing, procede to close Tweetdeck. Watch in despair when i noticed i closed Binding of Isaac instead.
FML
Fry's won't let me do a partial swap, so just switching the $10 faulty component won't work...
So either I have to remove the whole heatsink and return it, or I go and buy a replacement fan for $15.

ughh i dont feel prepared for this research methods in psychology final today but ive studied soo much

Are you the cause of this sign?
no, it's been policy for awhile, too many people were getting drunk and A) fucking people they should not be fucking or B)killing themselves in the WTU barracks.Â
But it still causes me great consternation; as one of the people on the lesser end of the injured spectrum, I should be able to have a drink damnit.Â
plus, i wanted a reason to post the headwall gif
Missed a final because I accidentally switched two dates when I was copying down my schedule. The professor already said that there would be no make-ups. I will no doubt lose my scholarship now. Also, it's going to be very hard to face my parents during Christmas now.Â
Still E-mailed the Professor to see if there is anything I could do, but she hasn't replied. I'm fucked hard right now.Â

If you are on good terms with your professor you might get lucky, Ive had friends miss finals and be able to make them up....Ive also had friends miss them and be told they're SOL...

I did pretty much the same thing. Call the professor's office and leave a message as well. I was able to take the final with the next class.

It was a departmental exam. I'm pretty sure my chances of getting a make-up is slim to none. Either way, thanks for the advice, it's worth a shot.
