How to replace a loud dvr fan Ahab 2017-01-10 06:14:22 Post No. 1112518 [Report]

Hi I got this fan that's blaring loud and would like to replace it. However I see all these fans the same size and voltage. but the amps are different. How important is that? The one I'm looking for is the xfan rdm4010b with 12v and 0.07A. But I only see ones with .06A as the closest one. Would this burn down my business?

I got one the same size and voltage but different amps at 0.10A. Can I splice the wires to the existing connector of the 0.07A without soldering?

If you choose a fan with lower Amp rating it'll be fine. That's how much current the fan draws so if it's drawing less than the old one it there's no problem. Putting in one that takes more will probably cause issues.

Sure, just jam some wires in connecting the positive and ground, then hotglue it.
