Dimension 2350 CPU fan

I have a Dimension 2350 with a celeron processor. I am looking for a new fan because my dell fans seem to break. I believe the socket is A 370, but I'm not sure, and I don't know the proper dimensions. Is there any program that can tell me information about my fan, or any dell support that would know the standard fan that came with it?

    Your Dell fans "seem" to break? Can you be a bit more specific? Is your case fan not running or something else?

    The term "socket" refers to the place where the CPU plugs in. Most Dell systems have a case fan that blows onto the CPU by means of a plastic cover, but there is no CPU fan per se.

    The CPU is socket 478. You will need to get the fan from Dell, or you'll get a "fan failed" error on each bootup - it is not an off the shelf part.

    Well the fan that had the plastic covering had a wiring problem. The fan hit the wire no matter what I did so I had replaced that fan. Now my CPU fan makes a terrible sound and has trouble moving. I took it out to clean in but I can't find a specific problem so I was going to buy a new fan. I just needed to know what fan would work for the computer. I wasn't sure as to what size was specifically needed for it.
