Title: Chinese Power supply - Can i source a small replacement fan?
Post by: Dragonizer on October 06, 2019, 10:50:29 AM
Hi All

One of my PSUs has stopped running, turning off after 10 mins due to overtemp.

I just checked it and the problem is the fan is not running?

It only a small fan built into the input end.

Are replacements available for these? What size/rating would i need??

If you carefully disassemble the cooling fan,
you should be able to see it's technical specs sticker.

And then you can also take a measurement tape and measure it's dimensions.

Thanks, will have a go later.

EDIT, it's a Foxconn 40mmx40mmx28mm

Its a 4 wire but only he re and black are used.

I presume Ebay would be my best place to look?

Depends on where you are. And how fast you want it.
In the US NewEgg or Amazon might has them.

Microcenter if there is one near you might have something.

Other parts of the world will vary.
A local PC repair place also might have something.

I'm based in the UK and have gone for this with a slightly higher CFM.

Luckily i checked here as i was going to bin it.

Thanks for the advice.
