Re: Need a new quieter fan to HD IO..
I put Silenx fans in both my HDIO 16 x 16 analogue and Omni over a year ago. They share a rack with a Mytek 8x192 and occasionally my Apogee Rosetta 800 gets switched on too. In other words, a lot of heat between them all.
I have the Omni at the bottom, HDIO above, then Mytek then Rosetta. There's clear rack spaces above and below each unit, and they've been working totally fine since I did the upgrade. I got mine from Tiger Direct in Canada. For the HDIO: Silenx IXP5211 iXtrema Pro Fan - 80mm x 15mm, 11dBA, 18CFM (S23-1010) MPN: IXP5211 And for the Omni: Silenx IXP1114 iXtrema Pro Fan - 40mm x 10mm, 14dBA, 5CFM (S23-1000) MPN: IXP1114 All up they came to $25 + tax + shipping + my install time but it's some of the best money I've ever spent in my studio. Cheers, D |

Re: Need a new quieter fan to HD IO..
To the poster above - I am glad things are working for you but the fan used in the 16X16 is 1/2 the CFM of the original. Not a great choice to my thinking.

Re: Need a new quieter fan to HD IO..
The efx-08-15.
can it push enough air for the 16x16? The cfm are close to the original fan if I don't remember wrong..

Re: Need a new quieter fan to HD IO..
Hi!
I replaced the stock fan with a Noctua NF-R8 PWM: http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=p...products_id=45 Everything works perfectly and the HD I/O 16x16 is almost inaudible: 10,2 dB / 1300 RPM / 39,4 CFM |

Re: Need a new quieter fan to HD IO..
Don't say "it doesn't", when it did.
Maybe you got a different fan.

Re: Need a new quieter fan to HD IO..
I changed my HD I/O fan to the SilenX 08-15. Connectors didn't fit, the first fan I got was broken from the start...
The second one works. It's so quiet it's scary. The cfm in the specs match the original fan, I hope that's true...

You should consider running it at 1800RPM.

I did a simple video on how to replace the fan here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBaFzLtGG0Y

Re: Need a new quieter fan to HD IO..
Changed my fan on my HD IO following these directions. A few steps differed, but it was enough to guide me through. Good luck! I've been loving the results...
