A7V133 fan problem

[Greybeard49]

The little fan on the motherboard has started to make those noises which means it will eventually fail. The board is 2 months old so I am trying to deal with the seller to solve the problem. However this raised a couple of questions.
1) Is it possible to replace the fan with it being impossible to tell if it was replaced? I don't want to void the warranty and I am not going to overclock. I assume those that have replaced this fan with the blue ord would know this.
2) Is it possible to get an exact replacement fan anywhere?
Thanks.

The fan on mine quit after about 2 months also. It would not spin, unless you got it started. I have not replaced it yet, but if anybody have a replacement, I would be interested.

I have had mine for 4 months and it makes some nasty noises when it starts so I guess I'll probably get a blue orb for it when mine dies.

I just got an A7V133 and took the stock fan off for better cooling. If you are interested I still have the old fan. It is very easy to put on but I would recommend using some thermal compound or the fan really does nothing.
