Introduction
HP Desktop 550-a39
Replacement of the CPU fan
* Before starting, you should turn off the computer, unplug all wires and hold the power button down for 30 seconds to drain any remaining power left in components.
* Have arm always touching metal casing when interacting with components inside the computer to avoid static damage to components
'''The importance of this guide:'''
*Have arm always touching metal casing when interacting with components inside the computer to avoid static damage to components
This guide is meant to provide you with knowledge to be able to repair/replace your very own CPU fan that may/may not have issues with functionality. The CPU fan is a crucial part of the computer as it helps to stabilize and maintain internal temperatures. If a CPU fan is not running efficiently, it can deteriorate the computer over time and cause internal components to get damaged and thus ending the computer’s life which makes a bigger problem in the end for the user.

'''Reasons Why Faulty Fans may Occur'''

* A dirty dusty fan can sometimes be the reason as they can clog up the fan blades, clean out dust carefully and restart the computer as this may fix the issue.
* If you built your computer from scratch and installed the fan your self then ensure that it is installed in the correct location in its proper port 3 pin port also known as the CPU header.
* Some CPU fan headers may be faulty, locate another one and try that if the current one that your fan is plugged into doesn’t work.
* If thermal throttling occurs, this means one of the two that your fan may be faulty and needs to be replaced or it means your fan is not faulty, but the thermal paste in your computer needs to be replaced as it is not doing its job properly, which makes the fan overwork and overtime get clogged with dust and then damaged.
* Keep computers in a cool place, if placed in direct sunlight this can cause the temperatures to rise and over work the fan thus become dysfunctional over time.
* Malfunctioning Motherboards or Power Supply Units could be the reason for why the fan has stopped running, which means the fan isn’t receiving much power and there may not be anything wrong with the fan
'''Symptoms of A Fan That Needs To Be Replaced'''
* Computer becomes hot very frequently and the fan is making a loud noise
* Random System Shutdowns due to overheating
* If the fan is loud or makes noises (* Note fans do make noise while running, but if it gets louder than usual then it is a sign.)
