Default Avid MADI interface replacement fan?

Not sure if this is the right subforum but I'll give it a try.

The fan in my Avid Madi if is starting to sound as if it soon will die.
Does anyone here know where to find a replacement or even a quieter fan?
The stock was really noisy in the first place

I've seen links (and videos) to replacement fans for the bigger if's but not for the Madi.

Kind Regards,
Anders

MADI fan is not the same as OMNI. It is actually attached to the cover with 3 screws, very easy to take off and seems like easy job to replace it. It is COFAN FB6010H12B.
I sent them an email two weeks ago about replacement but they didn't respond at all. Perhaps there is someone here at duc who might look at the specs and suggest something quiter. This fan moves the air towards one side but what would happen if we put instead a "regular" fan that moves air all around?

Hi Nedd, thanks for finding out on the Omni fan. That damn MADI fan is sooooo loud.

Did anyone manage to "upgrade" the Fan of the HD MADI to something quieter? My one seems to be quite noisy too.... makes it very difficult for me to mix in low volumes.

I bought this one. Had to keep the connector from the old fan and just soldered it on this one. Works great and is quieter than the one I had which started to make a screechy wobbling sound! It was horrendous. I had to replace it before it failed. So far no issues with this one.

EDIT: now I see its not in stock and is a 40!! week lead time. Maybe try at another vendor.
