Laptop fan choice

[finite peak]

Hello. I'm going to buy a replacement fan for my HP Pavilion laptop with a integrated GPU. There's a cheaper fan for sale but it says for discrete GPU laptop only. I know I should buy the correct fan. What I'd like to know is what's the difference between the 2 fans. Thank you.

Bro you can't say diffrence between 2 fans and then not say what it is

Yes

Well, I'm also confused because it's one of those ebay type sites where the product isn't well described. But for the same laptop there are 2 fans available, where one says, "for discrete GPU's laptops only", which is cheaper. I just wanted to know why there are 2 fans available. Is the one for discrete GPU laptops weaker because it's only supposed to cool down the CPU alone? I guess I'm asking if there's a way to get away with the cheaper one.

We don't really know any better since you've yet to provide us more information, like which exact laptop model you have, which two fans are you referring to, links, etc?

I know I should buy the correct one. I just want to know why there are 2 fans. And why discrete vs integrated GPU matters for the fans.

my only guess would be that its proprietary hp bullshit where if you dont buy the exact one it wont let you turn on the pc or not spin or something like that

on the old dell laptops they have a contact point for their harddrives to sit on to be detected as "genuine dell" hardrives, i switched it over to a teamgroup ssd and it took me all day to find this stupid contact point so that it could just boot instead of telling me i had no drives installed
