Resolved Cracked Fan -> Quicksilver Chainsaw Massacre (of my ear drums)

Alright great news people! This new fan is working well. It is slightly quiter than the stock fan, and after hours of cinebench (the poor darling was up against quad core Xeons...), I can report that the temperature has not gone above 41*C. That's 2 degrees cooler than the stock fan! Looks like I'll be keeping this configuration for tje conceivable future so.

Thanks for all the help and feedback!

Good to hear. And the price was inexpensive as well so even better.
 
Interesting to see that this is a more common occurrence. I heard a ticking noise from my QS I just got occasionally, and assumed it was just the old Maxtor drive. Until I checked the fans (they were tobacco/nicotine dusty & dirty), because I noticed it wasn't spinning. Took it out and it immediately spat out the rotor in two pieces. Guess I'll have to get a new fan as well.
