[Elecraft] [K3] Noctua fan

[Dave Lankshear]

I can confirm that both a friend and I have fitted Noctua fans to our 1,000
series K3's and that they do the job much more quietly.  They come with an
assortment of connectors and were very easy to fit, but you have to get used
to their different colour Hi Hi!  They appear to be high quality and we
don't regret making the change.

 

As an aside, I had an Icom 820H that used to shut down because its heatsink
overheated during ragchews.  I replaced its fan with a Noctua and the
problem was solved.

 

Although Noctua is an Austrian Company, the fans are made in Taiwan.  At
least, it's a change from China Hi!
