Freezer 64 Pro Fan?

Danger Phoenix · 12 Jan 2008 at 13:02

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement fan from, because my one has just started making a horrible noise and it seems like it may die soon

If i'm right, the rubber mounts that hold the original fan in place should be good for any 92mm fan you can get. How old is the Freezer 64? Any chance of a warranty replacement?

From the OcUK site, the Akasa Amber looks like a good choice for the money, or check out the range:

Can you not just use any 92mm fan and just attach it onto where the old one was?

Danger Phoenix · 12 Jan 2008 at 13:48

Unfortunately the normal 92mm fans do not fit on the cooler

They are 3 year warranty but its a £15 HSF. I'd buy a new one cos it will probably cost a tenner to RMA it to Arctic Cooling. It'll hardly break the bank will it?

The AC Fan 9 PWM is the same fan - just undo the rubber mounts.

If your replacing it then I would also reccomend a 92mm Amber Ultra. I took the 80mm one off my Akasa 961 as it sounded like a plane taking off, replaced it with an 80mm Amber and it dropped the temps a good 5c.

Silent also even at full.

Pft, Ambers are pretty poor.

I have just cable tied a 120mm Nexus fan onto my Freezer 7, better temps than the stock fan and lower noise.

No more water

Got a pic of how you did so? Would be interesting to see how.

What temps did you get before and after?

Thank you

Well, the temps were around 5c better when I last done it.

However I have since had water cooling and only just put it back on, so I don't really have a frame of reference. Can get some pics though.

Edit:

There's also a couple linked together going around the bottom part of the cooler.

I would like to see this too, as I have a few 120mm fans lying around...

Look above your post then

smsmasters · 13 Jan 2008 at 02:46

Looks nice. What did you use to affix the fan to the heatsink?

Thanks

Raikiri · 13 Jan 2008 at 02:47

Just some 20cm cable ties.

You can get original replacement fans as they have a shop on the well known auction site.

EDITED

I just cable tied a 120mm fan to my freezer 7, purely out of curiosity , and blow me down , it did indeed drop temps by some 5-6 degrees as apposed to the rather lame stock fan. Little longer i shall keep the freezer 7

I'm gonna try this one time sounds good

Danger Phoenix · 14 Jan 2008 at 01:11

I am having to do an all-nighter to finish the 5000 word essay that is due in tomorrow (well today now), so I will try this later on.

The noise from the fan is really bugging me at the moment, and it is made worse as it is making the whole heatsink vibrate. I am sure that it can't be good for it :confused:
