I just picked up a Megatouch Ion... thing runs very loud (power supply, especially)... but the fan noise is pretty overbearing.
Hoping someone might have some fan alternatives that can help it run more quietly in a home.
Thanks, Todd
It looks like there's five fans in this thing?
I've never owned anything like this...
Can I replace just the power supply fan?
I don't even know where to start looking for quiet fans...
Okay... new power supply... and new fans.
Anything in particular I need to know about the fans? Is it one size = one speed? Or are there different speeds for the same size? Any quick way to identify what I need to buy?
Quoted from Dr_of_Style:the fans you are replacing, should have the specs written on them
Perhaps those specs are on the reverse side... they aren't on the side facing out. I'll pull them off and have a look.
Quoted from Pinballmike217:Twistedquarter has good prices on new power supplys. The small fans are inexpensive. I would just get all new ones. It is well worth it.
I've done some digging around... the fan sizes are odd sizes (dimension-wise they are off here and there as compared to fans sold by quiet PC fan sites. For example, two of the fans are 52mm x 52mm x 5mm and the closest quiet fan I've found is 50x50x10.
I have found NOS bearing-based fans. Think new bearing fans would be worth installing? Of should I try to fit odd sizes into the game?
Not real great. I replaced all of the fans, except one (in the base/neck) which I couldn’t access. Didn’t really seem to make a significant difference.
Bottom line, these things are loud!
Quoted from SonicZone:It's because Megatouch games are not games, they're ovens. That's what every game op I know says about 'em.
Mine is for sale, if you need to bake anything...
