Hey guys, do you know a cheapy cooling fan wich has good speed, and thus good cooling?
I know speed would probaly be good, but maybe more blades or less blades are better? i dont have any knowledge about this matter;)
needs to run on 5 or 6V.
Size can be max 60x60mm and a minimal of 50x50mm.
I want to use it for my 445nm diode block/heatsink.

ive also been looking myself but some come with 3 wires and some with 4. i want one with 2 i guess....to power it.
I have no idea what i can do with more wires^^

Have you ever heard of Google or eBay or even the B/S/T
sections of the Forum...:thinking:

Why do you always need to be spoon feed...:thinking:

5 seconds on an eBay search....

Newegg is a computer part store, they have hunderends of fans for sale.
Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Fans & Heatsinks, Case Fans, 60mm

At 60mm you wont get a whole lot of air movement without the fan being very loud

The wire issue isnt realy an issue
Yellow wire is RPM output
and blue wires are PWM input
But you can just cut them off and use the red and black wires.

Also, 95% of fams this size will be deisgned to run at 12V, so at 5V they are going to spin slower.
