Can I buy a replacement fan from someone else (electronics store), after its life ends? If so what spec?

Our fans are rated at 50 hours, that is 9 hours per day for 15 years. Now and into the future you will always be able to purchase a replacement fan that fits your unit from us. These are durable fans and we fully expect them to last their rated lifetimes. Thank you for the inquiry.

Thanks for your question. Our fans are a 50 thousand hour type. This is 9 hours per day for 15 years. We fully expect them to last the spec'd lifetime. We will always have replacement fans for sale for your unit. As an FYI they are two ball bearing high speed fan. Thanks again.

I would honestly contact Noctua support. IIRC this cooler comes with extra clips for a second fan. If you damaged a clip or were shorted one, I'm sure these guys will replace it. The cooler comes with a 6-year warranty and I've read countless occasions about their customer service being second to none. So I'd say start there! http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=support&lng=en

can't tell you how long it lasts, but I have been running mine 24/7 since I bought it and it is still going strong. if and when the fan dies you can buy a replacement one on here from coolermaster, or Noctua if you want the best cooling fan

normally you got the fan, with the ac adapter,but I think you can buy it separate in case it does"nt work anymore or you have loose it or whate ever.

Try the fan manufacturer, or just duplicate the wiring of the existing fan switch.

If you're within the 1 year replacement warranty, they'll replace it with a new one. NO CHARGE AT ALL! They have excellent customer service! I'm not a blogger, nor did I receive this for free (wish I did, though). This fan was actually sent to me as a replacement/upgrade from my old ozeri that died on me. Again, at NO CHARGE. I sent them my old one in the new box packaging, slapped their prepaid shipping label, and dropped it off at UPS.

I'd take a look at mine but I had to throw it away after it broke. Honestly, who cares where it's made...it's not reliable. I bought a similiar-sized Lasko fan to replace it and it's still going strong.

That is exactly where mine was installed 12 years ago. Fan finally gave out after heavy usage and replaced with this new unit a few months ago that was identical in identification, part number, size, shape etc. That was easy.

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCYMy penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws. Seriously, a monkey could do it. You can fix the fan yourself.

I would have to say that the fan will not work due to fan blade sizing and the screw mount holes.Best advice is to do a google search for just your part number FD8015U12S of which there are many out there to purchase.Amazon does list having one used fan and I would certainly inquire about its condition.Hope this helps.Jerry BrownMedina, OH

Try to find the exact model number for the motor printed or stamped on the motor itself, or look up your model on the web or in the manual to see if there is an "illustrated parts breakdown" which will list each part of the fan and its associated part number. Then, you should hopefully be able to cross reference the correct replacement.

The fan comes with a 1-year warranty. You do have to pay to have the item shipped back to the manufacturer, though.

Depends entirely on the seller - ask them if they do not clearly state whether a fan is included.

I am actually looking for a replacement fan for the exact same gpu. I found one on this Chinese site (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DC-12V-0-5AMP-Server-Cooling-Fan-For-FirstD-FD8015U12S-Server-Square-Fan-2-wire-80x80x25mmfree/822654237.html) but I'd much rather buy one on amazon :(

Fan that comes w/ the item, or better still, a closed loop water cooling systemsuch as those made by Corsair, Antec, and others
