Noctua is the Queen of high efficient super silent cooling fans. I replaced the original Fan right away after DHL dropped off the Box at my door.

Just a follow up, got the parts (NF-A8) and only 3 wires, wired up as per video and did not work, what did work was red to red and black to black, yellow wire not used, maybe they have changed the wiring so you need to check yours out when you get it (I am in the UK)

Do you think if I leave the original socket in the rig but cut the red and black wires and connect them to the yellow and black as shown in this video, this will work??

@@Andy-hk4wn in the one i got the yellow wire was not used only the black and red, just check the voltage and polarity. I know some have reported different colours on the fans.

Thanks. Same here, tried with yellow but no results, then i tried red and black and it worked great. Yellow does nothing on NF A8 model for this radio

Thank you Ben. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't know that all IC-7300 have the noisy fan but mine sure was loud. I did a couple other fan mods for guys and they said it was a huge improvement. Thanks again for watching. I have two more videos going up later this week. Please check them out. I really appreciate the feedback. 73 Dave, NI9M

@davebelville4976 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Rick, According to the specs on the pigtail I used, they are 22 AWG with silicone insulation.

Ok but we do not hear that "noise' and do not hear that new "quite" fan. Also, we do not saw the new fan current. It is very important. If the same size fan is much quieter how it could cool better? So, maybe new video could explain all. Thanks.

@RF_Burns 9 ай бұрын

It doesn't cool better or shift more air, but the Noctua fans are quieter because they use aerodynamic blades and extremely quiet motors & bearings.

Hello Dave, could be my eyes but when I compare the video - the part where you show the 2 pigtails side by side, ridge up - with the pigtails in the URL you provided I see that black and red are reversed. Correct? 73, good DX Gust ON6KE
