I have a customer whos complaining that his 700 MHz eMac fan is very very loud. He bought it used. I've set up 4 brand new eMac, though they were all 1Ghz models, and they have all been practically silent. So I'm thinking I'll just swap out his fan with a new one
� Anyone know the size of an eMac fan?
� Or what kind of connector it has?
� Weather or not its CPU controlled
� If a 1GHz has the same fan as a 700 Mhz?

I'm assuming its a fixed speed fan, so I'll just find out how big it is, and get a nice ball bearing replacement, and if the connector doesn't match, i'll just get some clips splice the wires together.

I'm pretty sure it's fixed speed.

I remember seeing a website that described how to reduce the speed of the fan, by simple using a resistor:

Maybe you can email him and ask what he did !
