works great, doesn't generate interference like the original fan did
591307
The stock fan in the 2012 Winnebago View was a single speed fan. When the fan was on the electro-magnetic-interference (emi) from the  fan was so great it blocked HDTV reception. The fantastic fan doesn't interfere with TV reception.

It was a drop in replacement for the original. I did have to trim the plastic that mounts from the inside as it was too tall for the thin ceiling in the view. I used tin snips and it trimmed cleanly.

I like that the fan  closes when it detects rain. It also has the temperature sensor  in the remote and that is nice when you want to cool an area that is far away from the fan. The remote works with in the 25.5ft RV.

I have used the manual knob to allow the vent to be opened partially, without the fan running. When the fan is controlled with the remote the vent opens and stays fully open even if the fan is off. When it is windy I prefer it in manual mode so it doesn't get damaged.

Bought to replace Hyper 212 evo OEM fan that was starting to make funny noises and it works great.  The Hyper 212 comes with an extra clip set and I attached those to this fan then just swapped them out.  CPU stays nice & cool even during stress tests and makes noticeably less noise at max RPM than the original fan (both 2000rpm).  At lower speeds I can't even hear it.

I was skeptical about Noctua fans cause all the hype, high prices, and ugly colors but this one is good and I'd buy it again.  Would have purchased the regular model but I refuse to put that tan/brown color fan in a otherwise good looking pc with a side window.  Bonus is that this one's extra durable and doesn't cost much more than the retail one.

Black color scheme, great radiator cooling, very reasonable noise levels, PWM speed control, and quality cable sleeving make this a good buy.  Only came with screws, long silver ones, but I didn't need any accessories anyway.  If only it came with interchangeable color options for the rubber corner pieces instead of just brown it would be perfect.

I ordered this fan as a direct replacement for the original fan that started making noises a couple weeks ago.  Good price, fast shipping and the fan fit perfectly into the existing case.  Been up and running for a couple hours with no issues.  Only word of caution is to make sure you can remove the old rubber fan case rivets from the existing fan case.  it takes a little work to get them back through the holes if you want to reuse them.  If you don't want to mess with it, I believe Computer Fans sells replacement rivets: Genuine DELL Parts 4 Black Rubber PC CPU/Case Fan Screws/Rivets Part Number: 0N399 ASIN: B003JIKZXW

So your fan went out on you huh?

I looked at replacement fans vs the fan/heatsink combo and I figured for the trivial $5ish difference I should just replace everything.

This item is great.
Comparing to the original that I pulled, it is a good replacement. It isn't "perfect", meaning that it doesn't look like and official or OEM replacement, but nevertheless those subtleties don't really hinder my score as it has good quality and makes for a solid replacement.

A couple of notes:
The model number on it and replacement part number on it did not match what was in my laptop (dv6-6b00). However I closely examined them and they seemed identical. I'm not sure what difference there is between the various models. So to clarify, yes this works on a dv6-6b00.

The item is a unit that includes a heatplate for your CPU, a heatplate for your GPU, and running copper heatpipes to the fan and small heatsinks.
It includes all thermal pads for the surrounding chips, which is good since those will most likely rip when you try to pull them off. I don't think the thermal pads look as good quality wise as my originals, but they are not dramatically bad or anything.
It also includes preapplied thermal paste on the two heatplates.

The fan is quiet and in it's lowest speed (essentially when cold booting and the system is not hot at all) I had to put it to my ear to see if it was running. In the higher speeds you can hear it clearly, but it is not a loud fan by any means.

The job:
Of course the worst thing about replacing this is the ordeal to get to the part.
I'm sure YouTube will be your friend here, but just to give you an idea on what it entails, you will basically follow these steps.
Remove all components from the bottom access panel (hard drive, RAM, and screw that secures the optical drive).
Unscrew all screws from the bottom. There are some tiny ones in the lip where the optical drive was, a handful under the battery, and a couple in the access panel area itself.
Flip it over, use a plastic tool (preferably) to pry under the keyboard and then pull it up. If you feel resistance anywhere, flip it over and look for a screw you missed.
After that is off, detach the 3 ribbon cables and Unscrew the screws that the keyboard covered.
Pry off the top covering of the laptop.
There will be some additional cables to disconnect and a couple screws. Then you can remove the motherboard itself, which is what gives you access to the part you are replacing.

I wiped the thermal paste off this item and used Arctic Silver because I had it from other computer jobs. I'm sure their stuff is okay, but I wanted to do the best job I could so I used better thermal paste.

Lining up the 8 screws (4 on each corner of the 2 heatplates) seemed harder than it should be, but it does fit and line up. Screw one corner in and then align the others and screw the farthest screw to hold it in place. Alternate between them so they tighten down evenly.

There, you're done. Now reverse the process to put it back together.
If you are in doubt about screw placement or how the cables run, take a snapshot with your phone during dismantling. Better safe than sorry. There are lots of screws, keep them organized during the dismantle and life will be easier (I am pretty good with that, but accidentally knocked them all over during the dismantle and slapped my forehead).

I've only just replaced the fan/heatsink now so I cannot yet attest for the longevity of the item, but so far I am pretty happy. The fan is quiet and my CPU is running 5-10 degrees cooler per core than it did with the bad fan (which really shows you the impact of a bad fan). This was a very cheap solution to fix a laptop.

Ordered this based on the positive reviews and were not disappointed.  It moves a lot of air without much fuss.  The remote control is surprisingly useful and I'm glad we have it.

My only complaint is that it does not remember it has been in oscillate mode when it's powered off, so you have to reset that mode every time.  At least it does remember its fan speed setting.

Not really sure what the ION filter does, or is supposed to do.  It makes no noise and no perceptable difference in the performance of the fan.  Just shines a pretty blue light when it't in that mode.

My only complaint is that the fan shipped without the screws required to bolt on the pedestal base.  We are at the hardware store all the time, anyway, so $0.25 worth of screw purchase didn't spoil my day, but really.  They might have included those.  Especially since they are a weird metric size and if you didn't know about metric bolts it would be tricky to get the right ones.

This fan works great. it's quiet and blows powerful.  Sometimes after a while you may need to grease a couple parts as the factory grease in 2 spots tends to dry out, but I used good electronic grease to remedy the small inconvenience.

I found 2 common issues with this fan that can be easily fixed in less that 10 minutes time.

1. If your fan makes noise it is because the seal at the top of the fan needs to be greased. just remove the 2 screws that hold the busging and slide the fan out and fill it back up with grease and the noise will stop.
2. The base of the fan rotates agains a rubber seal at the bottom of the unit. When the grease dries out the fan will start to stick in certain spots and shake when on oscillate. Just remove the base and put grease or vaseline on the seal.

My ceiling fan started running a full speed, no matter what the setting was. I found the original capacitor was burnt, so I found this one that had the exact values and rating. Was easy to replace and now my fan works like new. And it was cheap!

<< Original review - see update, below >>

This is a perfectly usable fan for a Dell Dimension 8200.  I recommend it for anyone needing to replace a failed fan.  It is less impressive as an upgrade.

I bought this fan hoping to reduce noise and heat in my Dell Dimension 8200.  The fan has not made any significant difference to the temperatures inside the computer.  The fan is not significantly quieter than the original fan.  However, the sound has a lower pitch and I find it to be less annoying than the stock fan that came with the Dell.  If I had it to do over again, I probably would not bother to upgrade to this fan, but now that it is installed, I will probably keep it.

Installation was a breeze.  I was not about to hack up the connector on the motherboard but was prepared to splice the old fan's connector onto this one.  I was pleased that I didn't have to do either.  The fan comes with two connectors on a y-cable.  After disconnecting the y-cable, the fan plugs right into the motherboard with no modifications, at all.  The stock fan plugs into a black connector on the motherboard.  Next to this, is a white connector labeled "Fan 3" that is compatible with this fan. I plugged the new fan into this connector and everything works fine.  I did not get any BIOS errors.

The fan is physically thinner than the stock fan at 25 mm versus 32 mm.  This results in the fan being free to slide some in the Dell fan shroud but I doesn't seem to make any difference.  I suppose a couple of rubber bumpers could be used to lock it into place, if it becomes an issue.

<< Update after a couple of weeks >>

To update my earlier review:

I have seen that some Dell Dimension 8200 and 8250 motherboards do not include the Fan 3 connector.  I think Dell may have dropped this after the early versions of the 8200.  For newer boards, the solder points are still there but not a connector.  This would require splicing onto the plug from the original fan or bypassing motherboard power.

I have been getting occasional BIOS errors on startup indicating that the fan previously failed.  This seems to happen upon a combination of sleep and hibernate modes.  It is a minor nuisance, since pressing F1 is required to continue booting up.

So, I am changing my vote to 3 Stars from 4.  It is still a workable solution for a Dell Dimension 8xx0 but is not a drop-in replacement.

The installation is easy and it _will_ sound quieter than your old fan. I wouldn't call it an "upgrade" but it has good build quality.

Years ago when I built my house, we purchased an Ellington Fan for our living room.  Within 2 years the supplied wall switch started making a fizzing noise each time I shut the fan off using the On/Off switch on the bottom of the control unit.  The control unit eventually gave out and no longer controlled the fan.  I came across this Control unit from Fanimation and installed using the same wire configuration as the Ellington switch and sure enough I am back in business.  This unit worked perfect for replacing my 7 button control unit.

The fan came wired for push through function and installed easily.  It truly does have a full time 17 amp draw, so wiring a separate power wire (10 ga.) and operating it off a relay is the best way to go.  I am pretty much positive that any OEM wiring will get fried if you try running this fan on it.  Works awesome and the 2500 CFM rating is honest.

Works well. Splits 1 fan header into 3 with no issues.

This fan replaced the one in my HP G42 perfectly. I followed the on-line U-tube instructions and was able to get it all back together and Voila.....it worked!! It is quieter than the OEM fan.

After I lengthened the wires about 4" this fan worked perfect on an EVGA 7950GT video card that had a bad fan.  The mounting holes lined up PERFECTLY with the original and the plug was close enough to the original plug to work just fine.  The wires  were about 3" to short for this configuration, but were easily extended.  I was not aware this item had to be shipped from Shenzhen China thus had a 21 day lead time, but it did fix the problem.

A very nice fan. It works perfectly. I bought two for different rooms, and unlike my ceiling fans, when adjusting one with the remote, it doesn't interfere with the other.
It moves a fair amount of air and shuts off when not needed. That is great when sleeping with it on at night. Normally I would need to grab a blanket or jump out of bed to shut the fan off. It's also very quiet. Installation was a breeze [ ;-) ].
I wish the cord was a little longer, but that turns into a safety concern.

This gets 5 stars for simple, works fine, pushes a lot of air and fits perfectly. Minor down-sides: it's not particularly quiet, but it's no noisier than the stock wimpy bathroom fan, and it's got a lot better flow. It also lets in much less light than the original fan/screen, because about 2/3 of the area is blocked to make the fan efficient. And the shroud around the fan is not translucent. I was thinking of putting one in my main vent in the center of the coach, but the reduced light has changed my mind about this. I'll probably end up with one of the large/expensive Fan-tastic types, or just continue to do without. Overall very happy about this unit in the bathroom location.

Works great, even with one of my older motherboards that only has the three-pin fan case fan headers and the only four pin on it is for the CPU cooling fan.

Easy to install and use.  Works as advertised without any issues at all.

Would I recommend this product?  Yes, I do.
