Posted by: Trekintosh on 2025-03-07 10:23:53
Hey gang, molar Mac's fan is screaming and crying, and I'd like to replace it with one from my work stocks, but im at work and don't know the size of the Mac fan. Can anyone clue me in? Thanks!

And to help any future googlers fine this: Molar Mac Power Macintosh G3 AIO All In One Fan Size.

Just peeked inside mine, looks like 92mm. Good luck!

Thanks! I actually just got home with one of everything from work. Here's the model number of the factory fan: Delta Electronics AFB0912H. Pretty beefy. I've got a random Delta from a Dell to put in there. Half the power draw and thickness but hopefully it'll do the job, I might be zip tying a big 140mm to the top vents just to help.

Random Delta = probably noisy as anything, anything 92mm that's more modern would give you more sanity.

People don't know that Delta makes fans all over the spectrum. The original was a Delta too after all. Yeah I'll be checking a Noctua or similar in eventually but I wanna use my Molar in the meantime.
