Hi, I recently decided to replace the cooler in my Fuloong 6014, which had been running almost continuously for > 2 years. The original cooler had started to make strange grinding noises and the housing was also getting quite hot recently.
I successfully used this part as a replacement: http://www.amazon.de/sunon-GM0503PFV2-8/dp/B006DX0UJ4 Datasheet here (name of part: GM0503PFV2-8) http://www.sunon.com.tw/products/pdf/maglev.pdf As this part came without any plug, I cut off the wires of the original fan and soldered the old plug to the new fan. The yellow wire was not provided by the sunon fan so I left it unconnected. The new fan makes quite some high-pitched noise, sounds like much more than the 20dBA on the product specification (maybe hitting a resonance with the fuloong enclosure?). I won't recommend it for anyone who has to sit near the Fuloong for longer periods. Though the cooling is now very efficient. Harddisk temperature went down from 50 to 41 Celsius with the new fan (recent weather changes may be a contributing factor :). For a less noisy solution maybe it'd be better to purchase the Sunon 12V cooler (e.g. GM1203PFV1-8) which will then run much slower on the 5V provided by the Fuloong's fan connector (but might overheat?). cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk2.gpg Fingerprint: B63B 6AF2 4EEB F033 46F7 7F1D 935E 6F08 E457 205F
