Heatsink/fan for 68040
« on: October 17, 2013, 07:39:27 PM »
Hi, can anyone recommend a good, low-profile heatsink fan combo for 68040?  GeForce 040 card.  Hadn't turned my A2000 on in a couple weeks (swamped at work!), went to show it off last night and the darn thing fell right off.  Good thing I had the case open and noticed it right away.  Always something, you know?  ;)  I could stick the old one back on but figure it's about time to replace it with something more modern (and quieter).

Thanks guys! @Mechy - I'm ordering that one you linked to today, I've already got thermal paste, Artic Silver, and superglue, so I think I'll be fine. ;) Wish I could go with a fanless solution, but space between the CPU card and my drives & card reader is at a premium. I was also eying those Fractal Designs fans from the other thread, don't think they'd fit though!

Finally getting back to this, thanks again for the link, fan fits great (after a little filing) and oh so much quieter than stock!  Now go just get back to all my other projects (like getting PFS installed, getting my clock working right, getting my Thylacine working, etc., etc.).  Too much of this:  :drink: and not enough time!  ;)

That's the design of the thing.  Should have a silver cover on it but won't fit with my new fan, most owners remove it.  Probably unnecessary, IMHO.  Ask GVP.  :p

I replaced the PSU fan in my A2000 with this a few months back:

Fan itself was a drop-in replacement, but I had to swap the black and red wires on its power connector, because they were reversed on my A2000 (on the header where the fan draws power from the PSU). Drilled a small hole in the back of the case to mount the three-way speed switch. Quiet and I like the blue lights, or just go with what @som99 says - those fans look awesome, wish I'd seen his posts about them before I started tinkering with mine! ;)
