DirecTivo Fan Going Out
Von Fourche 12 June 2006 16:34:26
	I've had a DirecTivo for almost two years now. The fan in it is getting louder. It's not loud all the time tho. It just started about two nights ago. I heard it around 10pm. I figured the fan would be broken by the time I got up in the morning. Well, in the morning it was fine. Then it got loud again last night. Then it stopped. Today it was loud but now it's quite again. Does the fan in a DirecTivo box spin at different speeds according to how hot it is? Could dust be causing the noise? I looked at the back of it for a second and it was very dusty. If the fan is going out is it possible to replace it? I've had to replace a fan in a computer a few months ago and I was able to do it. Thanks!

But the DirecTivo has worked great. Even if I'm going to throw it in the closet while I try out Dish I want it 100% operable. The fans on that link look like computer fans.

If not there, try 9th tee (you'll have to look up their website).

I know my unit is in the bedroom and on my first unit the fan was way too loud for my taste and I replaced it with a fan from Weakness just to get it quieter. That unit just died and I replaced it with a DSR708. The fan in that unit is just barely quiet enough. I would prefer it to be little quieter in fact but it is not bad enough to replace. most of the time when the fans start making noise it is the bearings that are going bad and just blowing out the dust will not fix that problem. The main issue with fan is getting one small enough since the fan is smaller than most computer case fans or power supply fans. I seem to remember the fan I got from Weakness had the exact same plug so I did not have to cut and sautering the wires.

Do be so concerned with noise, that you dont keep track of the internal temperature of your unit Fans that are quieter often are running slower and not cooling as much (or enough). I now run my DirecTiVos with their top off, and a 4" external fan blowing on them. They run at about 32 degrees.

While possible, a quieter and/or slower fan does not necessarily mean less airflow, and thus less cooling, then a louder, faster fan. Fan diameter must be taken into account. Fans with larger diameters move more air at slower fan speeds. That's why most acoustically aware PC cases use quieter 120 mm fans, rather than the typical stock 80 mm fans. It's also why Passenger jets use those gargantuan external (though shrouded) bypass fans (I worked for Pratt&Whitney out of college for a while, where I learned a lot about fans and compressors). More blades on a fan also means less noise, though, all else being equal, less airflow as well. I might worry about dust and foreign matter building up in crannies and possibly eventually causing problems with the case open. Or a roach or rodent wandering in . Randy S.
