Replacement cooler fan? (Vision3D)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,

I have an ageing Asrock Vision 3D 137B for almost 10 years, and it has been a very stable media PC, but mostly a linux server (always on).

Recently the unit has just started turning off, and checking the sensor readouts, seems the CPU/unit fan is kaput.

Does anyone know where a replacement CPU fan for this machine can be found? It's not your typical fan!

	Has the fan been cleaned of dust and particles with compressed air? Mine was pretty gunked up after 10 years..

	The easiest way to find out is to unscrew the cowl cover, remove the fan then check it's model info on the back. You should then be able to search for a replacement easily enough. Otherwise, send off a support ticket to ASRock Tech support and ask them directly: https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp They may even be able to help you procure a new one.

	How?�d you go? I?�m in a similar situation. Wishing to replace the fan. My fan was replaced about 7 years ago and having trouble finding that model. I remember they had trouble at the time finding a replacement. If you have the original be great if you can supply the original specs??I can?�t see that anywhere, and maybe the reason for potential sluggish performance (Ie if wasn?�t replaced with the right version - they had to set fan speed to manual too for some reason. Any info you can share :)
