Just be aware that sometimes they change the pins around from the standard pinout, I blew out one of the fans before discovering this. Fan still works, just lost the rpm monitoring :(
- numpad0 6y agoServer fans are not cheap, they’re smaller and faster. Look at current and CFM rating. They might look insane from DIY market figures.
- justinclift 6y agoThanks, very much agree. I took a naive approach to it before having any clue about electronics, just replacing one of the (3) internal fans with a quieter one of the same voltage. Mostly to see if that would work. While it functioned, the "fan warning" light was then permanently on (with the replacement fan in). If I still had the gear and were to do it again, I'd investigate properly and figure out a real solution. :)
