Hi,

I've made the mistake of offering to replace a fan on a Pentium 2 but am having a hard time finding a P2 specific fan... Can anyone suggest a 'generic' fan I could use?

My likely source will be:

Also - the fan is pretty hard to access so it looks like I'm going to have to take the whole processor assembly out - not having done this with a P2 before I'm a little nervous about it. Is it a relatively straightforward process taking the whole unit out of its slot and, more importantly, getting it back in?

Many Thanks!
