My Zipang fan stops...

[petasis]

Hi all,

I have just realised that my server was running about a month (!) with the fan of the Zipang stopped (and temperature well above 75 Celcius), altough no problem in running the system.
(It is the same system described here: Installation and temperature problems...)

So, I went on site today, open the cover and realised that the fan was indeed not spinning. I sniped it with my finger, and turned with difficulty - as if it was stack, but after moving it with my finger it started spinning again.

I have monitored it for half a day, with auto fan control disabled from the BIOS (which should give the fan its maximum speed). It runs around 400-700 rpm.

So my question is: where can I find a replacement? Is there a fan from scythe that can replace the original one in Zipang?

I have the cooler for about two years (so no warranty).
Any ideas/suggestions?

Hello petasis,

without warranty you can order the fan for 5 Euro. Please send us a support request - Request: CPU Kühler, Lüfter, Lüftersteuerung, PC Netzteile von Scythe

Regards,

Thanks, good to know that I can order replacement funs.
I have already bought a 14" replacement fan from a store though, although a bit pricey, at 15 euros (not a Scythe one)...
