You may want to edit your title. It says $.039 not $.39

OOOPPPSSS!! Fixed now!

 

[render]

that's pretty cheap. I bought a couple of them when they were $1 each.

Great deal! I use NMB 80mm fans in my systems and they're pretty much silent. The airflow is pretty decent, but it isn't the best out there. It shoudln't really matter too much unless you've got a really hot system, though. If silence is more important to you than speed, pick these up.

Well that's because he edited it, notice the post right after mine

Since these come with bare untailed wires how exactly do we use/connect them? Do we need to buy separate molex connectors for these or anything like that? Looks like a very nice deal

Oh yeah here's the link to the specs
I'm still a little confused on which model this fan is exactly. The directron site doesn't seem to have the cfm specs for this and the spec sheet I linked has like 6 different series and variations for this model 3610KL

Can anyone clarify this for me

Thanx

Per Directron: "The original fan came with a four-pin connector, which can work with a PC with some tweaking - aligning the correct pins and reversing the red and white pins. For simplistic reasons, we sell these fans as bare leads. You can cut the existing connector yourself." Myself, I'd probably solder and heat-shrink with some spare parts.

These were probably a special run for an OEM. I was wondering which model they are, also. This series can be throttled down to 6V, so that's good.

The 3.5" cages in Antec SX10xx cases will hold a 92mm fan, with some shimming. NMB is a good name, I'm tempted by this offer, but it's kind of a "grab bag" situation.


PS: Minimum order: $3.00

Never will understand why people don't use the ¢ symbol in posts to remove all ambiguity.

 

[Delbert]

Probably because they cant find the ¢ key.

You da MAN! I've been meaning to do a search for this.... Just too lazy I guess!

Bookmarked now!

 

[soundforbjt]

Is it better with the ¢ sign now? LOL!

Thanks, used to have it bookmarked but it got lost in the re-formatting.

 

[wetcat007]

Damn and I just spent 15 bucks on a few antec fans!

woot woot, its really only 3 cents??? sweet, time to stack up...or do you mean he should edit to say $0.39???

 

[Johneverd]

$8.74 shipping to CA for 10 each. Hmmmm.....

 

[mindless1]

I also bought a bunch of these back when they were $.59... very good fans, though it's a shame you won't know which version (0.28A or 0.56A) you'll be getting. The .56A version is nice & quiet running from 5V (a la SVC fan adapter), but perhaps at 5V it's a little less airflow that you want from a 92mm fan, of couse there's always 7V.

I certainly can't guarantee which connector(s) Directron's current batch of fans has, but this pic shows the .56A version I received. The connector does have same pin-spacing as a motherboard header, you can swap the pin locations and chop off the extra two positions with a knife. The third wire is rotor-lock, not RPM, and the thermal diode on mine isn't an appropriate value for case cooling, needs be much hotter to vary RPM like exhausting from a PSU.

The .28A version had chrome grill but a different plug which could still be used on a mobo fan header but requires a bit more whittling to work. and a wire needed cut.

Edit: However due to the short lead length, "used on a mobo fan header" more likely means "used with PSU adapter fan header"

hot.

 

[FordLorider]

Hot, 10 fans shipped to MI for $10. Try that deal at CUSA or BB.

 

[MustangSVT]

ordered 6 of them with a cheap keyboard

 

[lsman]

Yes, i remember i post this fan at 59 cents when its sept last year. Looks that directron is unable to unload them.
The .56A verison is just too noisy even you are running at 7v after you "hear" it for a while.
