Fan replacement for Neo2Plat chipset

Ok I just cannot hear anymore the whisper sound of this fan...hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Anyone know a passive cooling that works on the MSI? I need to shut it down because I'm becoming crazy. All my system is silent but really quiet, but this fan is freakin me out.
So?
Thanks

Supershanks,
It came with the Zalman FB123 (Fan Bracket Assembly) and ZM-F2 (Ultra Quiet Fan) package.
Its basically just a resistor. I can't remember the resistor color codes so I don't know what size it is.
Here's a good picture of it.

The bracket is junk and I replaced the Fan with a Thermaltake 92mm Silent Cat. At least I'm getting use out of that 10 cent resister. :-O.
Lemme see if I can find a resistor color code guide and see what size it is. If you've got a soldering iron it would be easy to make your own.
Later, Conrad

thank you

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Check the following manual for the part number of the fan you require:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-62733.html
But I think 41V9932 is the part number you need based on information here for 2007-b4x:-http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62741#23
You can buy it from eBay:- http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=41V9932&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Hope it helps.

Fan replacement for MDD | Amount of airflow really needed?

Hi,
I am thinking to replace my noisy PSU fans with new ones. However, those old Delta Fans seems to have pretty... high-end specs what comes to airflow (38 CFM) and therefore the noise level (47dba). I have been working with computers pretty long time and I have never seen a computer which actually needs that much cooling just for PSU so I think that less is better in this case.
I thought that I replace them with 12 CFM fans (with only 20 dba each) or then again I am looking an alternative methods to create a somekind of airtunnel into that PSU by adding second cooler + pipe to the front of PSU. Is there anyone who has actually modded this PSU with this level before?
Also I am thinking to replace that 120mm cooler with 50-60 CFM cooler.
Howabout adding small cooler to the CPU heatsink?
... Desperate? **** yeah. I could use my MDD to blow leaves from my front yard!

If you aren't using NAP mode, I certainly recommend it in order to get that baseline temperature down. My MDD 'idles' i.e. email/web at around 39 degrees C. And for me, it has not introduced any instability.
I also applied the fan kernal extension mod (see URL below) which spins up the main fan at a lower threshold:
http://homepage.mac.com/paul74/MDDFanExtensionMod.htm
The extension mod doesn't let my MDD go above 56 degrees C and having the quieter Panaflo means I barely notice the difference anyway. This only tends to happen if I'm doing something CPU intensive like video transcoding using Handbrake.
Further improvements I've recently undertaken are:
1. Replacement of the passively cooled Radeon 9600 Pro with an Nvidia 7800 GS (BFG). While this has a fan, it only spins at full whack during boot and then calms down - it isn't noticable during normal operation.
2. Replaced the original IBM system HDD with a 'whisper quiet' Seagate (or WD - I forget which). I did this as the original IBM was pretty noisy - something you only notice once you've got rid of most of the fan noise.
3. Flipped over the PCI slot cooler. The intake for this was on the top. I removed the body from the metal slot mount and turned it around so that rising hot air is more likely to be captured. It is definitely pushing out hot air now.
I still plan to make a few further changes. I recently moved the speaker (now fixed to the interior 'ceiling' using bluetac). Considering mounting a fan where the speaker used to be to suck air in for the PSU and graphics card intakes.
I'm also still considering some exit fans between the CPU heatsink and the rear case.
Regarding the optical drives, I removed the stock combo and replaced it with a dual layer DVD/RW taken from a Lacie external FW unit I used previously with my eMac. I kept the original in a safe place in case I ever need it though!
In terms of OS X support for third party optical drives, I hear cough that it may be possible to update the firmware so that it is cough cough seen as a Superdrive. Thats just what I hear anyway.

Fan replacement for Satellite T135-S1312

Hi there!
My fan is dying on my Toshiba Satellite T135-S1312. I'd like to buy a fan and replace it myself, but I can't find any information about the fans specifications (without opening it up and completely dismantling the laptop).
Taking apart the laptop is quite tedious. I'm willing to do it once, but it would be wonderful if I knew what fan to order WITHOUT opening it up and checking. Where could I find this information?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally found the answer!
Go to www.nationalparts.com
The link was straight from te official Toshiba website. You can search for your laptop right down to the part you're looking for. Compatible fans include:
A000061540
A000061550
A000061560
A000064220
I hope they're right!

Fan replacement for G4

I have a G4 Dual Processor 500 mhz. Does anyone know the fan sizes?

Hi-

86.52 CFM, 2470 RPM (max), 37.6 dBA

Fan replacements/upgrade for MDD Power Mag G4-suggestions please!

First, I apologize for again bringing up what has been a frequently discussed topic. (ad nauseum?) I tried to do some homework first but I'd like a little help if anyone has some recent experience.
I am looking to change out the large main CPU heat sink fan and possibly the two power supply unit fans in my pair of MDD Power Mac G4s. The specs are Dual 1.25ghz (fw400) MDD G4. One has a 400watt actel PSU and another has a samsung 360watt PSU. Both large CPU case fans seem to be the original delta models installed by apple. Though essentially identical in specs, The 400 watt machine has the thick aluminum finned heat sink and the 360 watt machine has the aluminum heat sink with the thin sheets. The 400 watt machine is definitely louder, but I'm not using either of them for critical audio work, so its just a preference thing on having them run a bit quieter.
Both G4s are pretty loud. The noise bothers me a little, but what I really want to do is to replace what must be now pretty old delta fans with newer, quieter fans that will help extend the life of these 2nd hand computers that I plan to use for a number of years.
I scoured the web and read many articles about MDD mods and fan replacements, but many of the articles date back to 2003 and most of the fans that people have used seem to be no longer produced or available (such as the panaflow model referenced on xlr8yourmac.com I ran into many dead links! Maybe that's because there are better fan options now?
If anyone out there has replaced or upgraded their fans in a MDD recently, could you please reply and let me know...
Where you got them
What size and model number(s) for the fans
Whether you noticed any improvement in noise/cooling
I saw a recent post about replacing fans on an AGP Power Mac...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11628216#11628216
Would these fans be the same? I'm guessing that the MDD wind tunnel might need more cooling than a G4 (AGP) right? SOme places mentioned that the main fans were 119x119x25, while others mentioned that hey were 120x120x25. Is 1mm going to make a difference? I'd prefer not to have to dremel them if I don't need to!
Lastly, if you have a direct link to a reasonably priced fan that you'd recommend, I'd appreciate it greatly!
Thanks for any help!
Dave C

Thanks Japamac!
Thanks for your replies! Those look very good! So many to choose...
Exactly the info I was looking for. I was checking out the panaflow (I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of choices on the 'Performance-pcs' website... if you were buying, which one of those 34 would you get? Assuming a budget of 20 bucks per 120mm fan...)
But a followup question on the Panaflo model you linked to. In the many web articles I read I recall that one being well regarded. ,IF I buy that one, I have a few choices on tail options...
3 pin
4 pin
4 pin male molex with separate 3 pin rpm connector
Am I correct that if I opt for the last option I can get the fan to run at a medium rpm all the time and have it be less likely to ramp up under heavy loads?
Lastly, will this possibly be a problem I might have, simiar to what was noted by a xlr8yourmac fan modder -->
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/g4mirrored_drive_doors/noise_reduction/g4_ddr_noisereduction.html
"(Updated comments added 7/9/2009)
I have an important update to that G4 fan mod note I gave you.
I noticed that the 120mm fan wasn't pushing as much air as I thought it should, and I realized it was because the 2-pin fan connector on the motherboard wasn't providing enough power. +(3 pin connectors typically are for adjustable/variable speeds. But if it's a constant speed fan then maybe the 2 pin wiring was using only 5V vs 12V? (higher voltage = higher rpm fan speed typically)-Mike)+ I put the 3-pin connector back on and used a 3 to 4 pin Molex adapter adapter to connect it to the 4-pin hard drive power cables -- voila! Lots more air. So... Following the directions in the older article exactly may NOT work depending on the fan you get. Also, using a 3 to 4 pin adapter is much easier than modifying the connector from 3 to 2 pins as indicated in the article."
This was confusing because I thought that there was just a 3 wire lead to connect or splice, with the yellow wire probably just not being used.
Your thoughts?

K8N Neo4 Platinum - fan replacement

I have a 2 month old K8N Ne04 Platinum edition (not SLI) motherboard. At first the system was dead quiet, however the NForce4 Ultra's stock fan has become increasingly loud over the last week, to the point where I can no longer hear myself think.
Can a new fan be ordered and attached to the existing heatsink, or does the whole unit need to be replaced? I have no idea what 3rd party part would be compatible, any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Quote from: Iceman81 on 07-July-05, 07:30:38
Hello there, I too had the same problem after 1 month of having the K8N Neo4 Platinum Motherboard. All was well and silent then all of a sudden the NORTHBRIDGE fan started clattering and getting very loud to which was very disturbing.
The only way around this is completely taking out the "MSI" provided NORTHRBIDGE fan by removing the motherboard from the case and pressing on the clips on back of the board that hold the fan and then popping in a new NORTHBRIDGE fan/cooler. I found a great replacement for the cheapie MSI provided fan in the "VANTEC CCB-A1C Ball VGA COOLER" which is all copper based and purchased from www.newegg.com for under 15 US dollars shipped.
Below is the picture of what the fan I recommend looks like...
I have since been using the "VANTEC ICEBERG COPPER COOLER" and the NForce4 chipset has been running very-very cool and was a perfect fit!
Take care, Ice!
Sorry to revive an old thread but looking at my problem and how often it was that question asked here, I want you to help clear things up...
Is this Cooler you are referring to, this one? The same model and everything?
http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-23998289-cooler-chipset-o-video-vantec-iceberq-modding-_JM
Because if it is, I can buy it here knowing I will have that cooler replaced...
Another thing, Which is better? Titanium or copper? cos the titanium one is cheaper...
Thanxs a lot for helping me out pals...
EDIT: Sorry, pal... Didn't mean to offend anyone

Idle Fan speed 4400 RPM after fan replacement

Several months ago the left side fan on my MBP died as the result of a worn bearing. The computer is covered under Apple Care so I sent it in to have the fan replaced. Ever since the fan was replaced the idle speed on both fans is in excess of 4K rpm even when the CPU shows minimal activity. SMC fan control is set to 2K rpm. iStat Nano widget displays temperature at 120 Degrees Fahrenheit and fan speed at 4500K. I took my MBP back to my local Apple authorized service center and told them what was occurring since having the fan replaced. From Hardin Apple service center in Arlington my MBP was shipped to Houston Texas where Apple Service Technicians replaced the Logic board. I have since reset the PMU by removing the battery and holding down the power button for 5 seconds. I have also run the Apple Hardware Diagnostic test using the install disc which showed no hardware malfunctions.
With the CPU 95% idle the fans should not be running anywhere near 4K. Despite two trips to Apple Service my MPB still has a fan probably which is not only annoying because of the increased noise but it is affecting my battery life as well. If anyone has any ideas as to how to fix this problem which I have not already attempted please post them. I am hesitant to send my MBP back for more service at this time due to their failure to fix the problem the first time or check the results. They were aware of the problem when I sent it in for service and when they returned it to me the same problem persisted. This type of service does not inspire customer confidence.

I'd be inclined to try an "archive and install" of the OS, Jason, and leave off any third party "add ons" like SMC fan control for the moment.
Alternatively if you have an external HD then you could try installing a "clean" copy of the OS on this and using it as the boot drive, to see if this overcomes the problem
There are OS software elements to the process of fanspeed control and if these are corrupted then the fans are likely to run at "failsafe" speed.
Another possibility may be that a temp sensor hasn't been properly re-connected, again resulting in "failsafe" sped operation.

MDD PSU FAN REPLACEMENT

A question thats been beat to death but i'll ask anyhow. I have a Dual 1GHZ MDD. I got this as a gift and the original owner never took part in the silence swap way back then. So it is a LOUD beast. I have just done my first cooling mod. My Idea was taken from XLR8your mac. Here is a few pics of my setup.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y286/Kissfan74/DSCF0121.jpg
So my question is, What are good replacements for the 60mm psu fans? I have the original stock Deltas which move ALOT of air( 37cfm at 49) Which is MAJOR loud. I've searched everywhere for tips ect. I've even seen where a guy took some Volcano5s and used those fans. He has them rated at 32 cfm but that is wrong it's more like 24 cfm for those. So what would be the best and safest fans to replace the originals without hurting my psu. It gets really hot inside there and I don't wanna under do it . Any tips are welcomed.
I found these:
http://www.directron.com/ec6025.html
They look like just what I'm after. The CFM is lower then the stock fans but the noise level is less then 30. With my Case mod I think I can keep my temps low near the psu and have a quite machine! Are these fans good enough???? Thx in advance!!!!

Windows Media Centre - Windows Media Foundation - Windows Apps. Replacement for WMC

Still looking for a PVR replacement but DVBLogic looks like it might do the job.
Have gone down the Plex Windows App route (The clostest replacement to WMC player so far) but they are saying they are hamstrung by limitations of the App sandbox? and Windows Media Foundation.
I need some concrete information from the Windows Media Centre People or Windows Media Foundation people so that developers can be steered in the right direction to help people like me switch over from WMC to something else without major headaches, frustrations,
days and days of conversion and metadata reentry.
My post from Microsoft Community
Hi,
Since Windows Media Centre almost didn't make it into Windows 8 I have been looking to move to something else before it disappears for good.
While it might just make it into Windows 10 there certainly won't be any future development.
I not a big fan of Microsoft products but WMC is one application they nailed
Some additional smart recording options
i.e. I had to add "The Big Bang Theory - Return", "The Big Bang Theory - New", "The Big Bang Theory - Finale" etc to my series recording
A proper library manager (Plex does a great job of this) e.g. by series, season, episode - Movies - Documentaries etc with additional data downloaded.
A few more playable formats/containers
It would be perfect.
A proper Library wasn't as important as most of the metadata could be viewed directly in windows explorer.
Not supported with other containers.
This brings me to the first obstacle.
All the alternatives I have looked at so far can't or won't support .wtv files
Converting the files to another format/container loses all the explorer properties. (And some of the metadata completely)
Discussions I have had so far are pointing the finger at the "Windows Media Foundation"
I.e. Developers can't do anything with .wtv files because WMF doesn't support them.
So the question is: If Windows Media Centre is no longer viable for Microsoft why haven't they atleast provided the tools for developers to support the format/container they forced upon so many users of their product.
i.e. Metadata reader/writer
Codec/Container? player?
I need a replacement for Windows Media Centre: What is/are the alternative(s)?

Fan replacement: 26R9074 vs. 26R7957

I need to replace my fan on my 2005 T43 (Type 2668-71U). According to the user manual I need FRU 26R9074. I searched online for that number but came up with multiple vendors selling a fan number 26R7957 that's supposedly compatible. I've been trying to verify this unsuccessfully. Here's a link to the product (which sells for about $33).
http://www.brainydeal.us/cooling-module-Notebook-26R9074-Thermal/dp/B004YIBXQO?traffic_src=froogle&u...
Alternatively, I have a link here for an actual 26R9074, but it's about double the price:
http://www.thinkpad-parts.com/26R9074-ThinkPad.html.
Could I just go with the 26R7957 or should I get the real thing -- 26F9074 even though it's double the price (and not as commonly sold)?
Thanks.
Solved!

I've never done a fan on that model, but I've done several on the T61, and although there are many different heatsink/fan assemblies for different models, they all use the same actual fan which can easily be replaced in your existing heat sink. You can buy them for about $14 including shipping brand new.
I'd see if you can do this with this model too.
I'm sure one of my friends will be by to tell you specifically if you can or cannot do this on your model.

Using NB fan connector for case fan?

Seeing as the only fan supplies that support fan control are the CPU and NB, if I'm using a Zalman cooler instead of a NB fan to cool the chipset, is it possible to utilise the spare NB fan connector for one of the case fans?
Or is that a silly idea because the speed of the fan will be dictated by the temperature of the NB chipset which may or may not enable sufficient case cooling?
Has anyone tried this?

In actual fact I have 7 x 80mm Cooler Master Fans in my system. 2 in the back, 2 in the front, 2 on the CPU (Hyper6) and 1 on the clear side door. All fans are the CoolerMaster Blue LED type and spin no faster than 2600RPMs. I never slow down the CPU fans ..... system is always on and always doing something stressfull but using Speedfan or CoreCenter I can slow both fans on the CPU down to 20%.
4 of the fans are powered through the mainboard (through PSU) and the other 3 using the PSU molex power connectors (not the FAN_ONLY connectors .... not enough juice ).
