Hi,
I have a like new Thunderbolt 305 that works great except the fan makes way to much noise. What would be the best replacement fan for this unit?

Thanks, Wayne.
 

Hello,
Any high output computer type box fan should work OK.

I used a square box type computer fan (120 VAC) fan in my Thunderbolt 305 when i had it and it worked great. The noise was not as great as the stock fan and it seemed to move a greater amount of air.

Just as a thought, you might want to try a 240 VAC fan on 120 VAC. That will keep your noise down and still SHOULD move more air than the stock Thunderbolt 305 fan did.

Remember this,,,,
As a general rule, the more air you move for a given size of fan, the more noise it is going to make.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare

    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
