supermicro h8qg6-f motherboard fan

[orion456]

I am still running a few supermicro h8qg6-f motherboards. They have very small fans on a few heat sinks and one of them is dying and making a lot of noise. Any idea where these fan can be purchased, or what they are called? Thanks.

Man, a flash back to the -bigadv days. Anyway, those be chipset fans. I "think" they are 40mm but please for the love of pizza don't quote me on that. The Egg has a huge selection of small fans. My search for 40mm tuned up a great many hits from slim and cheap to monster coolers. My suggestion would be to verify the size of the fans and check the Egg (or whoever you use) to see what they have. Hope that helps

If they are 40mm, and they look to be, I suggest these: I used the 20mm thick ones in my PowerConnect switch when I still had it, they're super quiet and move decent air.

Thanks for the interest.

These are chip fans that are built into the heat sink, they screw into the heat sink, about 5 mm thick I am guessing.
I would think they are specialty fans. I will try to get a better pic later today.

Measure them. They look like ~40x5mm fans. Not very special (see links above)..

Something like this - https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-003V-003D2?Description=40mm fan&cm_re=40mm_fan-_-9SIAAES5221808-_-Product&quicklink=true

You can also take the fans off and see exactly what they are by reading the details on the hub.
