I would have thought that just about any fan which would fit, would do the
job. I've had pc's come in for repair, up to a P233, where the fan had
obviously failed long ago, and were still running.
If it's only a temporary expedient, blowing air over the sink with a hair
dryer, hoover or whatever, will probably be more effective than most CPU
fans.
