Post Body

I've been using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and for the third day today I've the most concerning noises with it. Days one and two had the rattly noise happen when booting up but they cleared up after the desktop loaded. I decided to a once over with can air and clean the heatsink and the fan blades earlier today. Now it's gotten worse. Right now I can hear louder rattling and I can also hear the reverberation in the left bit of my headset. It sounds like it's the fan. My temperatures have gotten worse. Idle is around 30c, currently at 41c. Playing Valheim would have it at the high forties but now mid fifties with bottleneck lag.

If I have to replace this since I haven't seen any replacement fans sold, can I use AMD's Wraith Prism cooler on a AM3 CPU(FX 8350) and motherboard? I have one as a spare.
