    Hi guys,
    Hope you are all enjoying your new machines; I wonder if one of you would mind having a look at your CPU fan which I understand is a 10 C.F.M fan, and posting me the Dell part number....
    I've just replaced my original 4710mq with an i7 4930mx CPU and want to upgrade the cooling fan with one like you (should) have installed in your 2015 models.....
    Best regards, and thanks
    Dave

    I believe that the 10CFM fan has the same dimensions and fitting pattern as the one on the R1 (which is, I believe a 2CFM fan) and as far as I can find out the only difference is the power lead is too short - and the same unit is used in the 18 inchers too - I'm just trying to find out if the part numbers are the same, and that reduces my likelihood of buying something less than useful......
