@Nine amps are current
receiving higher voltage than specified forward voltage is what can burn something
supplying more current than is being used is safe
@squirrel
Ah! Thank you. I'm getting conflicting (in the same page and thread even!) Info by googling. So if I use this higher amp rated fan, or the lower rated amp fan, nothing bad is going to happen??
@Nine so if you use a fan that draws more current than the power supply can supply, that's when it burns out
if you use a fan that draws less it'll be fine
you need to know the voltage and current specs for the fan supply (not the fan) and get a fan that matches
Uuhhh
I
.... 😫
I'm sorry, I'm... Really bad with electronics. I think I'm at that place where I know just enough to break everything but not enough to do anything useful with it without potentially harming myself too. ._.;;
And Google is being unhelpful in figuring out which of the two fans I have available to use to replace the dead/dying one
@Nine what are the both fans and the original fan specced for
@squirrel
My two replacement options are both 12v , but one says 0.10A, and the other is a mystery.
@Nine just use the 0.1a then
@Nine no no, no bother
@squirrel update! It worked!...fan is still a LITTLE whirry, but nowhere near as bad. thank you! ^^
