Rbox Fan failure

July 17, 2014, 12:03:08 AM

I bought an Rbox about 2 weeks ago and the Fan has stopped working.. Sad

. Will it be fine without it? It seems to not be too warm right now.

If it doesn't overheat, then it's fine. If needed, get a cheap fan and stick it on top or at the side.

My fan failed ages ago, but it's in a cold area and seems the temperature is perfectly fine with some airflow from other sources as the cooling is generous on these devices. As byt411 said, if the temp is fine it doesn't matter, and you can read the temperature from cgminer.

Sweet, it's been running with no issues. I connected a fan to the second fan port on my Ant miner and sat the Rbox on top of that fan.. LMAO. I think the fan might of burnt out as it appears the power supply I bought for it (a laptop one) is 20Vdc and not 12Vdc.. It seems it just ties the input voltage to the fan with no filter.. O well.

I got 21 of them....

One of the fan just froze... Jamed tight...

Would be nice to have the exact replacement part for it, any clues?

I believe it is just a stnd small comp fan?

A small house fan pointed at it will keep it cool enough.
