Fan for 8200

I have had a problem just like many others on the board with the fan for the 8200. I have been sent 3 WRONG fans. It appears that the correct fan part for this model is back ordered. Guess so many complaints about them that they can not keep the fans in stock.

I just received another fan which is the WRONG part number again. WIll someone that has a fan that is quiet and fits please post the part number of the fan so that others of us that are receiving the part that does not fit will know what is supposed to go into this computer.

What Dell is doing since the proper fan is backordered is sending a replacement fan in leiu of the correct model.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing a model number. BTW the number I got was 7G538 and what the last one they sent was 9M060. When i called Dell they told me the right fan will not be in till Dec. 26th so I can not reorder till then.

    7G538 is the part number for NMB fan. That's what I got and it seems to be quiet.

    Thanks Steve, That is the part that the Dell tech ordered for me but it appears that the people that send out the fans send out different ones if they do not have what is ordered by the tech. I will just keep trying to get the correct one. At least I now know what is supposed to go in is correct and is quiet.

    I had a very loud fan, my solution was to go with a different source. I ordered a 92mm fan called the silencer from http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com and I highly recommend it!!!! I can barely tell my computer is on now, when the screen goes blank sometimes I think it is actually off. I have one problem with it though. Because I disconnected the old dell fan. P/N: 7G538 and plugged the new one into a different fan socket on the motherboard it gives me an error every time I boot the system that says "Previous fan failure" how do I get rid of this message every time I boot my system?

    I too had an extremely noisey fan and it too was P/N 7G538. Today, I received a replacement (complete housing included) and the new P/N is 9M060. The original fan was a DATECH 9232-12HBTL, 12V, 0.70Amp, DC Brushless Fan, P/N 7G538 E186583 manufactured 01.10.08!
    The new is JMC/DATECH, 9232-12HBTL-2, DC 12V 0.85Amp, DC Brushless Fan, P/N 9M060 E186583 manufactured 02.04.18... how nice it is!!! Although the current draw is greater, think all else is the same (minus the noise.) Don't dispair! I am very pleased at this point. Hopefully it will remain quiet. The specs on this one appear to be similar (45 dBA) to the 0.070Amp fan but maybe the -2 version with the greater amperage is what it took.
