danbowskill Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I have a non original ampeg fan in my svt Cl which has started becoming annoyingly noisy,any body know of or can send a link for a nice quiet replacement? Thanks :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOM Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 There should be a label on the fan giving the operating voltage. Have a look at http://www.quietpc.com/casefans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subthumper Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Have you inspected it to make sure it's not a build-up of dust and dirt? I usually find a good clean and a blast of wd40 in the bearings does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Switch cleaner is a better alternative as it evaporates quickly and leaves next to no residue - the bearings are generally unlubricated and WD40 has a tendency to get blown in all directions when the fan spins if you're not careful.
