NUC 7i7bnh fan needs replacing - seeking recommended manufacturer

[mehlsl]

Hello --

Noise like a hairdryer is coming from my fan.

I want to replace the fan.

Can anyone recommend a good manufacturer?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Larry Mehl again,

You will find a replacement cooling fan for your NUC on net. Like this one for example or this.  You may search also on Aliexpress and Ebay.
