The CPU fan of my ageing AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ processor was grinding and was replaced around 4 months back. But the replacement was not OEM and it is on its last legs.

Is it possible to just buy a fan without heatsink for this?
Or is there a good fan / heatsink combo compatible with this CPU available for purchase on Flipkart?

I do not know what is a delta fan. Right now I am on to my 2nd noname fan bought from Bangalore.

You can get Antec C20, DeepCool Gammaxx 300 / GAMMA ARCHER, CM hyper 101 or even the big coolers like Cm Hyper 212 X will even do. :D

Antec A40 is best.
