Vantec Aeroflow Replacement Fan

[imported_AJW]

I have a Vantec Aeroflow and I am looking to replace the fan due to it being worn out.
It comes stock with a 70 mm YS Tech TMD fan but those seem to be rare and I would like to avoid purchasing a new heatsink just for the fan

I am using it cool an AXP 2000+ currently

Which size of fan would work with this unit

Any reccomendations (one that is reasonably silent) ?

If providing a link to an online store, they must ship to Canada


Thanks

Rated close to what the original fan was

Or get one of these and put an 80mm fan on it - if you can find a canadian store that has something like that.

I'm not familiar with canadian stores since I'm in the USA, but hopefully if nothing else that fan link is helpful.

Welcome to the AT forums.

Here is your original fan: http://coolbidnow.stores.yahoo.net/ystechtmdfan.html I recently replaced my 70x15 fan with an Evercool 70x25 from Nexfan.com . It works great but is noisy at full speed so you have to crank it back with a fan controller - either one that is built in to your mobo or an add-on like a Zalman Fanmate II. My mobo runs it at about 2500rpm which isn't bad but still audible - when I have it on my fan controller, I run it at about 2000rpm which is nearly silent I had to come up with some longer screws but that wasn't a problem. http://www.nexfan.com/ev70x70x25fa.html - and Nexfan ships to Canada. They also sell the same stuff on eBay - I saved a bit over their web site price by buying mine on eBay. eMail them to get their Canada shipping info if you can't find them there. Whatever fan you get for a CPU fan should be a 3-wire with speed sensor.
