The Fan for Dell Dimension E
Dear all
The fan on my old Dimension E becomes so noisy, so I bought one with model no. AFC1212DE-4K33 last week. But, it seems not to run on my Dimension. Could anyone tell me if the model works with Dell Dimension or not?
Thanks,
H.

It is a case fan in my view. But, it blows air into the case and directly flow through the heat-sink of the CPU.
I ordered fan with model no. AFC1212DE-SP02 (Dell P/N Y4574), www.amazon.com/.../ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
but I got the item in the photo. I think the item I got is not compatible with Dell Dimension as AFC1212DE-SP02. Is that right?

Unless it's a Dell OEM fan, you'll get a "fan failed" error each time you boot the system - the Dell fan has an onboard thermistor that is required by the system.
Is this the case fan or the CPU fan you need?

It probably is (the DE is likely "Dell").

My question is if the fan (AFC1212DE-4K33) in the photo is identical or a functional substitute for AFC1212DE-SP02 which is the original fan in my desktop? At this point, 4K33 does not work in my dimension and I want to know the reason to fix it.
Thanks
