you have to or else you will get an error on startup everytime
to reduce noise
1. clean out all dust
2. replace the main fan if needed
3. add an extra fan in the front of the case where the hardrive is and put the airflow direction pointing in. i did that on my 2400 and worked beautifly. dont worry, the case is basically the same, well the airflow is!
yes, buy one that connects only to the power supply, and place it so the airflow points inward, the fan will say on the side, and wire it through the floppy bay, thats how i did it, and when i took off the front cover, i used a rubber band and attached the rubber band to the thing at the bottom with the USB ports in the front and attached the rubber band to the fan, and it stayed in place...
I need a fan for a D4700, and Centrix lists two of them for it - say different shrouds, and to check their photos. The photos for their K0456 and D1601 look identical.
Is there any way to determine which fan should be used without taking it apart?
I was hoping to just do one replace session - adding memory/fan at the same time.

The Dell case/processor fan, is a proprietary unit, unless a Dell unit is installed, you will receive a fan failure error message at every boot up.
A Dell OEM fan/shroud unit for the D-4600 can be purchased for $9.99 from here,
