Anyway to replace CNPS 9500 fan

taylormsj · 06-18-2007, 04:59 PM

Is there any way / easy way of replacing the fan in the cnps 9500 with a different 92mm one? If so how does anyone know

Did yours quit? There may or may not be an option for replacement on those. That would something the vendor would have information on since you might have to special order it from Zalman. Otherwise you would have to substitute another 92mm fan that will fit into the cooler and run at the same voltage. That would most likely end up being a losing cause there. See if you can order a replacement from Zalman otherwise replacement time.

I'm sure there are many 92mm fans on ebay or elsewhere. Or just buy another whole HSF.

Its not that its faulty - its the noise of it - i have a 92mm fan at home but i am wondering if there is a way to mount it replacing the stock fan, as it isnt the conventional square mounted fan

If you can get the fan off then probably you can get a replacemtne.

you change it to automatic fan control. is only loud while you game.

The typical mounted fan won't work since those are made to fit inside the plastic casing. Zalman and other makes of cooler each have their own design and fitting per model cooler. There's no universal fit. You would end jerry rigging something that most likely won't even work out. That's why seeing if you can special order a replacement would be one thing to avoid buying a new cooler to save on cost there.

There are two settings on the fan controller one being the normal with the other being the slower speed. With a substitute fan if fitted you would need to buy a different fan controller to see that work.

I have a fan controller and even with the fan on its lowest speed it is very loud

kof2000 · 06-19-2007, 09:07 AM

you must be in a silent room or something because i have the 9700 even at max speed it is not even loud.

maybe im being picky but even at lowest speed it is louder than a psu two 120mm fans a 14cm fan 25cm fan HDD and the VF 9000 gpu cooler
