    I need to change one of the fans in my Pavilion 753n. it's made by Delta electronics and I believe the power rating is 12V, .015A. I thinks the size is 92mm x 92mm. Anyway, my question pertains to power. Do I need to replace it with a fan of the same power specs?

    just get one with the same type of power connector and it will be fine, is tahta cpu fan or a case fan? most CPU fans are 3 pin and newegg lets you sort by compatibility. as far as voltages go, i don't think they vary between other fans with the same connector.

    Thanks for your reply. It's a case fan, and is 3 pronged.

    All the fans are 12v,what you need to look at though is the amount of noise the fan makes in decibles and the amount of air the fan can move measured in cfm,in audible is around 15-20 decibles,idealy your new fan should move the same or more air than your old one to keep your system cool while keeping the noise generated as low as possible,post the model number of your old fan:)
