This old laptop (Or how can I cool down a CPU without operating it in a dry ice tub?)

Have you checked if you could instead use two single fans? Maybe this config also fits (you probably have to fixate it with some adhesive).

If you don't fix it then the system is going to die soon. And you don't want to spend big money to get a real replacement, so fixing it the DIY-way is the only thing left IF you want to keep this system.

How ya doing, buddy?

That was the idea. When you can't get the exact part, then try to replicate it with parts you can get (cheap).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
