40mm x 40mm x 10mm 4010 12V 0.15A DC Brushless Ball Bearing Cooling Fan 2pin

I guess my use of this is a little unusual. My Dell T20 server power supply fan was making a racket, not good. So used this fan to replace the dud in the pc power supply. Yeah, had to solder the wires in place but it did the job. Not whisper quiet but acceptable on a radio studio set up.

The PSU fan in my PC started to get a bit noisy, so I decided to give my computer a really thorough clean, as it was very dusty inside. I decided to fit a new PSU fan, as the old one was still a little stiff, even after cleaning. This is a great little fan, although the lead is a bit short at 15cm (the old one is 20cm long)! I therefore cut the lead & joined it to the old lead by soldering the wires together. I had to do this anyway, as the new lead had a different plug to my old one. The new fan fitted perfectly into the PSU box, and on reassembly worked fine. Unlike some reviewers, my fan is very quiet, so I imagine it must be working on a reduced voltage. It does throw out more air than the old one, though, which is great. It seems to be a good quality unit, although It is a little expensive, especially with the premium delivery. Hopefully, it should last a few years.

Worked as intended

Not yet fitted, but tested okay. Will update the review when fitted.Upon opening the amazon packaging, an aromatic smell, possibly fabreeze or perfume could be smelt, despite there being no such product within the package of three items. It turned out to be the box containing this fan, and even the fan itself both smell very strongly. Not sure why this is.As I can't stand the smell, it must be left for is odour to dissipate - and hence prevents me from fitting it immediately.[Update 16 MAy 2021] Fan fitted, operating quietly, perfect for what I wanted it for.

I bought this to replace the internal cooling fan in my 30 year old Kenwood TS 850 SAT HF transceiver.If you own the same radio and it starts to make a squealing noise when tx this will be the fault.The plug on the end of the replacement fan is different, however five minutes with the soldering iron sorted that.I now have a nice quite radio that doesn’t overheat.Superb and highly recommended thank you.

Bought as a replacement for the shonky one in my desoldering station which decided it only wants to spin when the moon is in a certain position.As a straight swap, it's a lot louder than the old one but this isn't an issue for me. You can always adjust the supply voltage to it which would reduce the RPMs / make it quieter.Otherwise it does what you'd expect and is decent enough quality. Spins, air's sucked in one side and blown out the other.

Fan arrived on time and was appropriately packaged but unfortunately it did not work. The fan was to be a replacement for a noisy fan in a camera power supply.I thought there might of been a problem with the plug on the end of the fan so I cut it off and retried the fan on a known good regulated 12V DC power supply (taking care to ensure that the red wire of the fan was connected to + on the power supply) but again the fan did not run.Because I had cut the plug off the end of the fan I didn't bother to return the fan.

I got this to replace a noisy fan in my pc power supply that wasn't doing a good job its got a tiny amount of noise but you won't notice unless you hug your Maschine a lot and if do no judgement from me. Works great and it pulls a nice amount of air
