Amiga 3000 PS Replacement Fan

[slaapliedje]

This is the one I just bought and put in my A4000D's PSU, it's really quiet and should go faster if heat rises.  It has a nice temperature sensor built in, which I just put in the middle of the heat sink.  

ARCTIC F8 TC -80mm.

Also, I haven't done testing with the case on yet (hopefully I'll get the IDE terminator today and will be able to put the lid back on, at which case I'm going to use my temperature prober to see how hot everything gets.)

Also, if you have an older CD-Rom drive, the one that I got with my A4000D was loud as hell, replacing that with my old SATA Plextor drive reduced noise tremendously.  Though oddly with the two IDE->SATA bridges I tested, neither would work with the onboard IDE, but did work with my FastATA 4000.

Which tends to run hotter, the 4000 or the 3000?

Oh, and an additional note, the other fan I had tested was supposedly rated really low, but I think they were referring to if it was plugged into a modern system, and the motherboard could control the fan speed, because it was running full speed in the Amiga and still very loud.  It's a Nexus SP802512H-03.
