My fan is loud! It's actually the usb 3.0 version, but I'm assuming its the same fan. What type of pin connector does the fan use so I can replace it?

It is a common computer type fan which has a universal snap-on type plug. The two enclosures that I have are relatively quiet, as in noiseless. Are you sure that the fan is not hitting something or bound up? Try a couple of drops of light lubricant (3-in-1 or vegetable oil) l on the bearing of the fan. If you decide to replace the fan be sure to replace with one of the same voltage, I.E. 3v, 5, 12v.

I bought one because my mother board had only one fan connecoer and my case has two fans. it works. it has 3 pins just like any fan connector on a motherboard.

It's been a while since I built that PC as a gift to a relative. IIRC, those fans have molex power connectors, meant to attach directly to your power supply, not your motherboard.

I had the GeForce 9500GT and all the holes lined up but the plug was different. I had to cut the wire and use the plug from my old fan, then it worked perfectly.

3 pin generally means it's a pwm fan still just no 4th connector for the motherboard to control it. I have used this cable with corsair sp120 af120, and noctua nf-f12s.

I ordered this fan and it does not come with a 3 pin connector. It comes with a voltage regulator, an extension cable, and a y cable. All cables end in a 4 pin.

I think they are 40MM fans, but in my case, I just unplugged the fans from the board, since I am running all SSD in this unit. But the plugs on the fans seem to be the typical 2-pin type. I agree, a bit noisy, would be nice if they were thermally controlled.

As long as your current fan uses screws and not plastic clips this one should work without any problems (I've used this fan on several different brands of computers (e.g. Dell, HP, etc.) without any additional steps needed) - if your existing fan uses plastic clips then you may need to install the adapter to the mobo so it will accept the screws instead of the plastic clips... Good luck! RH

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, i´m studing it yet.)

This fan (as with most) come with the two pin Molex connector .... which connects directly to your motherboard. Most motherboards have at least two of these (one for the processor fan, and the other for a case fan). Not sure how many you plan to connect, but it seems to me that those two are sufficient. Of course, the fan will work with any 12v DC power (direction depending on which way you connect the two wires). How many do you plan to connect, and are you already using the TWO provided 12v connectors on your motherboard?

Wish I could help but I do not know what the difference is. Sorry!!! What is the make and model number of your fan?

Forgot to mention, the case fan is quite loud so I would either replace it with a quiet one or get a simple fan speed controller. This is what i got. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000292DO0

They sent me USB versions, for some reason. I replied that I had been shipped the wrong fans, and they proceeded to say "no, these are USB fans. If you don't want them, send them back." DON'T BUY FROM SUNANY

The internal fan is broken, same with mine. Opened it up and its a cheap computer fan. I replaced it for 4 dollars at a computer store and it works. If you're under warranty, send it back or take the risk and replace the fan.Good luck

Not sure or why to get this. There are plenty of USB fans available" http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-USB-Fans/zgbs/electronics/3015416011

Honestly, I don't know. Despite the fact that it was supposed to work with most fans, it did not work with mine and I finally gave up and bought a new fan.
