Replacement New CPU and GPU Cooling Fan for MSI GE66 GP66 GL66 Series Laptop PABD08008SH N453 N454 E330800930MC200K E330401690MC200K Fan DC5V 1.0A

My old CPU Fan was going out and had a bad bearing. I ordered these to replace the original fans, and the screw holes for securing them to the MB are in the wrong position.This laptop is critical to my work, so I went ahead and installed the heatsink with these fans.The CPU Fan is crazy loud and sounds like the computer is seriously overheating. The fan is nearly if not as loud as the fan with the bad bearing. Running core temp the processors are all sitting in the mid to high 30s most of the time. Sadly I did not check the core temp prior to installing these fans.If this computer weren't so critical to my work, I'd return the fans, but as it stands I may have to order a different set to replace these ones.

Vouching for Kevin Darty’s description of these fans, and a shout-out to him because his description of work process was accurate, and with watching three videos was enough to info to do this repair having never opened a computer before:- “GS66 overheating apply new thermal paste” by UberGeeks, which is an almost perfect match for what you are actually doing inside the machine,- “How to replace battery MSI GE66 Raider Disassembly” by SMDSpain, which shows the best guide to getting the case popped off by very visibly showing you how to get it off the ports where it’s quite sticky, and,- “Full disassembly MSI GE66 Raider” by Baghdad Computers BPC, who helpfully shows how to deconstruct everything inside the machine (which you don’t need to do)The only change from Kevin’s guide is I’s also suggest disconnecting the two wires running to the wifi card, as they intrusively run along the right side fan when you’re digging in.Also this fan works, but heads up just as he describes, you’ll only be able to get one of the two screws in that mount the fan to the internals. This isn’t a big problem though, because the heat-sink cabling has something like seven screws mounting itself to the internals, and after screwing the two individual fan screws in with the other 7 heatsink screws, it feels quite snug and secure.

I bought this as it was recommended for the MSI GE66 Raider and it does for and does with but there are two screws that fasten the fan down to the board and only one lines up. The top most screw didn't align at all. It works fine but just be aware of you have the GE66 Raider. Also, if you have no idea how to do the work, YouTube is your friend but here's the main operation: Remove back, remove battery, remove heat sink that the fans are connected to. Remove fans and replace. There is Thermal Paste on the heatsink so if you have extra on hand you may want to touch that up after the install but not truly necessary. Take your time and yes, the screws that connect the fans to the heatsink are super tiny and very difficult to get back in so take your time. Yes, they are frustrating, so inhale, exhale and take your time. Fixed my son's super loud fan problem. Worth the money and time.

I had a really loud grinding fan on my MSI Raider GE66. I only used one (right side) to fix my failed fan, and this was a drop in Fix with no modifications needed. 5 stars!
