Change/Mod PSU Fan

[Agility]

Hey Hey,

My Boss told me early that day that i have to change a Fan in an Old PSU.

This PSU is about 13 Years old...:b 

Do not try this at home i did it in an safe enivormet with fire extinguisher around. You never know what could happen

 

 

 

The PSU

 

Start by removing all the Screws

 

 

What is Warranty?

 

 

I almost forgot that screw. Screw you, screw!

 

 

Open it up and plug the Fan out 

 

Always keep your screws somewhere safe.

 

 

Thats what we gonna need. A new Fan, these Heat-Shrink-Sleeves, Heat Gun, wire cutter Soldering Iron aaaaaand solder  

 

Cut as much as possible off of the cable from the old Fan.

 

 

I hate this part so much!  

  

 

Same story with the "new" Fan

 

Now get a little bit of solder on the wire. Do this with all 4 wires.

 

Put the sleeving over the wire, lay the red wire next to the other red wire and solder them together. I could not take a pic of this because i only got two Hands...

 

 

*Grabs Gun* I'm gonna burn you all. Muhahahha  

 

Now apply heat to the sleeving and let it shrink. 

 

Done. Doenst look that bad actually.... 

 

Put everything back together  

 

Do you see that red wire? It doesn't allow the Fan to spin properly... I dont want to open this crap up again haha 

 

Aaaaand I'm done Time to test it.

 

 

IT WORKS MUHAHHAHAH  

Sorry for the bad Pic Qual.... My current Phone is always being stupid :b

Um... one of the PSUs I cleaned also had the same freaking, hell, the same sticker, the same looking fan... But I'm talking about an old ATX "Deer" PSU :huh:

I hate this old PSU's haha But 13 Years for a PSU and only the Fan is dead... Nice

 

Why the hell do you not like bacon? areyou crazy? are you insane? :lol:  :lol:

I've 2 14 y.o. PSUs and another one that's 12... replaced fans on all of them bc of the noise x.x those fans are crap... BTW I used this fans

, are virtually silent and I *think* they sell in some european countries (I dunno, it's Spanish brand ).

Anyway... the fun fact is that those PSUs claim 15 A on +12V rail tho one of them has a crazy amount of current for +5V (maybe pentium III masterrace?)...

 

Also I don't like the taste of bacon, why is that a problem ?

I just took a random Fan that i saw hahahhahahaahhaha

Because Bacon tastes amazing!
