FerociousOG Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Any suggestions for a Rev 1.0 replacement CPU fan or larger heat sink replacement? Edited September 16, 2020 by FerociousOG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Realy, CPU fan or you mean case fan? On a CPU block you could do that (see my pictures). Done that twice for 2 slim xboxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benur75 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 You can also use V1.2 and up gpu heatsink. I am in Europe in you need one (for free only shipping) bye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Or you could 3D print some brackets to hold a new fan Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boured Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 You could get a new fan through bracket mods, or gut a 1.2+ thats broken for their heatsink. The latter is more quiet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoTeamScotch Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I've read of people using these fans as a replacement for the out-of-production Iceberq4 fans: https://ebay.us/7BoiuG Here's a fan that is (mostly) a drop-in replacement for the main CPU fan: http://a.co/63utNWa You can see my video of installing this^ fan here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkiX-0qyWNY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a 3pin fan? if so does it connect without any modification? Also whats the general thought on spraying WD40 in the fan? like in this vid: I tried taking the fan apart to clean and spray the ball bearings, I looked under the stickers top and bottom but its just solid plastic and no washer Edited October 16, 2020 by corona2222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) It' a 3 pin fan and works without any modification. WD40 isn't to lub thigs, it's for "cleaning" - only!

corona2222 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 good point. this lubricant is probably what I want and mentions bearings https://www.jaycar.com.au/lithium-grease-400g/p/NA1015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 For real, don't bother lubing the fan becaus it will not hold for long if there is any chance to lub the fan at all. A new fan like the noiseblocker xs2 is 5-6 euros/bucks and hold much longer as a new lubed fan. Noctuas are nice but not for the job in a 1.0. With the little noctua you get worse temps as with a GPU block from a 1.1 and up because the spin to slow and move only half the air as the original fan. The noiseblocker xs2 isn any louder but moves more air and makes is the better way choice without dealing with lubing. Not to mention that this fan also moves way less air as the original one.

The Noctua moves less than half of the stock and the Noiseblocker moves a little more as the half (close to 2/3) of the stock fan. If you want something equal to the stock dan look for the Adda AD0412MX-G70-LF. Which is basicly the same fan just in a normal "fan layout". And i see i have wrote XS (50mm which is nice for the CPU (see pic above)) instead of XM (40mm fan which is for the GPU). So sry for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
