Radioshack "Gamma" blowers

[Dash]

These are real nice gagdets, Ill just tell a horror story to prove my point =).

I had one of these blowin directly at my CPU heatsink, never got about 30 C. CPU Temperature, I was moving some stuff around in my case the other day and accidently ripped the 2 wires off their contact points (dont ask how ,i dont know), now my CPU is generally at 50 Celcius when its doing RC5.

K6-2 300 -> 400
DFI P5BV3+ revC

I want my Gamma 28 back!!

i dont have a single "normal" fan in my case, all i use is blowers (even mounted directly to the h/s). i have ripped the wires off several times, you should be able to just solder them back on to the contacts. good luck

I found a place that sells the one radio shack has for $20 for like $7.

Where Killerbug?

[commodsquad]

yeah...where @ kb??
The nearest place(100miles away) I could find that even carried these types of fans wanted $22.00 for one and it wasnt even a good quality one....And to top it off the local RadioShack really doesnt even keep Radioshack parts in stock...which, I find peculiar...

round here there is only one gamma blower to choose from, and its 12$$, and all radioshacks nationwide carry the same products at the same price (my friend manages one http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif ) are you sure it was a raidio shack blower?

The Gamma 28 Bloweris also sold at http://www.jameco.com for approx $10.00 their Part No. 134586
The Gamma series of blowers is made by Nidec, including the ones sold by Radio Snack. While your ordering, pick up an ESD strap pn.159257 $10.00,and umm ever tried to find one of those P2 heatsink support bracketts pn169009 $5.00 and thermal paste and some extra case fans. gotta make it worth the shipping chrgs. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
