[SOLVED] my CX450M fan died...

[doolittle]

Had to swap it out, luckily I had an Adda that was in a dead NeoEco 520C - was nice not to have to splice in the connector. Was conflicted since it was still under warranty but I had no spares on hand, and was in my HTPC so was very critical I had it back up and running ASAP

Can't remember the last time I had to swap a fan on such a new unit, the last one I did was on an old TPII-480 Blue a few years back - did I just get unlucky?

And now it has no warranty.

Yeah.... Yate Loon fans are garbage. But everyone uses them because they're so cheap.

my faith in our chinese OEM overlords was already diminished when my G-Pro left omron switch started double-clicking on me a couple of weeks ago lol
