Commonly used in Power Supplies NOTE – Check your existing PSU fan. Some ship with 12V fans others ship with 24V. If you want a 24V version see here: 60mm Fan (24V) Installation Notes:
- Be sure to check the polarity on the wires you are connecting our fans to. Typically red is positive and black is negative but some of the Chinese printers do not adhere to these standards.
- There is no list of what machines use what as it can vary from model to model and we have even seen differences in wiring colors used in the same printer models.
- Our fans use red for positive and black for negative. You can verify polarity with a cheap $10 multimeter from Amazon or you local hardware store.
- If fans are shorted out/killed due to improper wiring this is NOT covered under warranty.
- When replacing a fan you will want to splice into the existing wire to your existing fan. Connect the wires with solder and heatshrink OR use our Quick Solder connectors.
- If you want to reduce your PSU fan noise you can print this part that ducts the air to reduce noise: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3345042

The only reason I upgraded the PSU with this fan was to reduce the noise level. This fan is so much quieter than the stock PSU fan, which sounds like a turbo prop plane compared to this and would drown out the sound of the air conditioning return air vent which is right outside my door. Hopefully this will make my wife happier, too. So I guess there are really two reason I upgraded the PSU with this fan…

My Ender 3 Pro had a 12v PSU fan (check your own fan to verify, it’s written on the fan), and this replacement made a huge, huge difference in noise levels. Two other 24v 40mm fans from this site also helped make my printer is much, much quieter. It no longer sounds like a turbo jet prepping for take-off. I sometimes think the print’s done early, but nope, it’s still silently chugging along.
Other sound upgrades I’ve made (not on this site) include a 5015 part cooling fan and the v1.1.5 silent mother board with TMC2208 drivers.
Thanks for the high quality parts. Oh, and the nerds!

Replacing the stock fans with this fan coupled with the other two really reduced the fan noise from my CR-10 control box which was really annoying. I recommend buying the kit of three and saving some $.
