Replacement fan for BTO Radeon

[John Bryan]

Funny how for a basically fanless model, how much the topic of fans 
comes up for it! ;-)

Can someone recommend a simple replacement fan for this one that came 
with my Radeon as a BTO option from Apple?
Or where can I go to get some more information about what to look for?

I have dug around a bit, and found discussions about the noise of these 
things when they apparently start to crap out, but haven't (yet?) found 
anything that really helps me.

I don't want to drop in another graphics card, and I don't want to put 
a 'real' fan in this thing, but I would like to see if I can just 
replace the fan on this thing as the sound from it sometimes is beyond 
distracting.  I had pulled it off once and put some lightweight oil 
drop by tiny drop onto the point of the 'axle' that is visible when the 
little decal/label is removed from the top, and that worked great for 
about 10 minutes, then it was back to grind city.

FWIW, Currently it runs at 40C according to ThermoInDock.  It has gone 
up to 44 when doing some intensive stuff, but not that often.  Pretty 
much it is static at 40 or 36.   The noise flares up at boot up, wake 
from sleep, or when something intensive apparently kicks it off (or on, 
rather).

thanks, fellow Cubists,
