John, Thanks - I've noticed a CFM rating on some fans that apparently stands for "cubic feet per minute." If I can figure out what the CFM rating is on the stock fan, is that sufficient for determining a suitable replacement, given the same size and voltage? Rick |

Are there other factors I need to be concerned with besides the physical size and the voltage? |

I was able to locate the specs online for the stock fan and it's rated at 40 CFU. So far I have not been able to find a quiet fan that matches this output. I bought a 32 CFU/14dBA fan to replace the fan in my Alesis HD24, but the Ghost power supply evidently requires more air movement. I've looked at SilenX, Acousti, and other fans (also searched at digikey and mouser), but haven't found any rated at 40 CFU that are below the stock fan's noise spec (33dBA). |
