Have been looking at some of those really cheap fans from china.
They cost aprox 1 british pound. And the shipping is free.
How on earth is this price viable? Talking about sending something for nearly free around the globe polluting.
(just think about how much mother nature is being fucked the wrong way)

Anyway...
How are the quality on those 50mm fans? When installed on a K6-2 or Pentium-133/166MMX system?
Will they hold up to the task of not burning up, stopping and frying my beloved CPU's?
Or should I go for a complete system specific CPU cooling system?

Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....

I bought two of them a few months ago, it was the cheapest fan I could find at the egg, item 9SIA4SR1PN3874.

Used one to replace a failed fan on a video card and the other went on a socket 7 cpu cooler. Both have been working fine so far, not sure how long they're last being sleeve bearing. One thing I noticed was that when I first got them they ran slow but it was very cold in the room I was in, now that summer is here and it's a lot hotter they spin faster. The lubricant in the fan must soften up letting it spin a little faster, they make no noise that I can hear.

Bought two of this fan. Cheap and hopefully good enough.

True, I had a lot of dealing with a chinese company that made older high end motherboards that where EOL. Too bad they got in troble for, now there gone. 😢
They were selling mostly high end abit, gigabyte and asus boards. I could not tell any difference between a real one and the counterfeits, Other then that the counterfeits were new.
