Here in Switzerland is very difficult to find the original, bad, Shuttle fan but I found an excelent distributor for the ZM-OP1 fan : "Brack Electronics AG". They sent to me the Zalman fan in 24 hours!

It work fine! :-)

My first Zen (with a Bi-Sonic fan) had the "fan header" issue so I got it replaced with a new one. Unfortunately the new Zen had a loud-as-hell-spinning-at-2800-rpm-all-the-time fan by Adda. I just replaced the fan with a ZM-OP1 and now my Zen is quiet again! :D

it seems that my ST62K fan sings its last song.

So it’s time to ask:

:)

Is it really straightforward to replace it by zalman zm-op1? I mean, does it fit perfectly or does it need some tweaking? And does it even come with the right connector?

Thanks a lot!!

Ondrej

It looks like it’s the second time because the first time I took the machine to service and they said it was a fan contact problem. My point is: should I change the fan as it is being suggested or I try some tweakening like changing headers from fan 1 to fan 3 (maybe it was done the first time or the changed the old defective fan).
CPU temperature is over 90° I run the PC with open case, but sometimes it does stop functioning…or I could see the fan moving a bit but not running…

Bye

The point is that it started to work at a CPU temperature which is not the tag of 65° at rpm over 4000. So I moved to Smart Fan again and it does not work! I move back to Full and it does not work anymore either…Everything seems random…

Your fan isn’t totally dead, but only used. It has issue to start so, if you make it run at the full speed, it has a larger current in, so starting is easier. This doesn’t change anything you need to change it anyway. A little trick you can use, simply make Smart Fan starting sooner, I mean set it to 40° or less. By this way, it will run faster, but this is only a trick, soon you will need to run it a full-speed permanent, until it won’t work at all.

Bye.. where have you found the new fan ?

How can we change the temp to start smart fun sooner? The fan is not working now and I am afraid to damage something…Sometimes PC stops responding!
