Where did you source the fan?

Steve Hemphill -

Can you provide the model # of the fan you replaced with ; and for Steve Hemphill did you pull the fan out yet ? what was the old fan make/model, maybe Amazon has one.

Joseph V -

This is a 60x60x15mm 12 volt fan. I purchased one on Amazon, it doesn't really matter which one as long as it's the correct measurements. The white plastic 2 pin connector should work in the stock board, but you can swap the connector from the old fan onto the new one easily by depressing the two locking tabs on the electrical pins. Make sure the orientation is correct, this is an intake fan and should be pulling air into the case. If the fan is installed backwards, the unit will overheat.
