trying to replace psu fan

mrsteve0924 · Apr 19, 2015

i have an EVGA Supernova NEX 750G. fan started becoming noisy so i thought i would swap it out. It's a Yates Loon D14bh-12. Yates loon website says it's a 140mmx 25mm fan but it's not. it's actually a 135mm, standard 140mm fans do not fit.

anyone come across this before? i emailed EVGA, they do not have replacement fans. they suggested to RMA the PSU. I guess I could. just seems like more of a hassle. i mean the fan isnt that noisy.

any suggestions? thanks

Just buy a 135mm fan.

yes that would make sense. i didnt think they made them. i assumed 120mm...140mm.

not finding too many 135mm fans. also, most fans are .18 amps. current fan is .7. i did connect some of the 140mm replacement fans i bought to the PSU just to see if they would work and they spun way too slow. I'm assuming the PSU steps down the voltage when the PC is at idle. Maybe this worked ok for the .7 amp fan but not a .18 amp fan.

I would check with EVGA to see if you'll void it's warranty if you replace the fan.

If he has it apart and testing other fans on it, the warranty is already void.

EVGA said they dont have replacement fans and of course they said it will void the warranty. but i never mind voiding warranties.

Why would you open it if they were willing to RMA it?
That makes no sense whatsoever. :-/

Here here!!! Don't play inside a psu unless you know what you are doing. You also void the warranty by opening it up.

But scanning down increase see that was covered. Lol!

RMA the thing...

because RMA'ing it would be a hassle. and i couldnt see doing it over just a slightly noisy fan that can be easily replaced

So you throw away a 10 year warranty over a 2 dollar fan? Wow.

This ^^

Next time, use the warranty. That's what it's for
