Hey gang, my Molar's fan is *screaming* and I'd like to replace it with something new and not screaming. Does anyone know how big the fan is? I'm at work and would like to grab one before the weekend, thanks.

Just for future googlers: Power Macintosh G3 AIO Fan Size

... Did I seriously post this thread twice in the same forum instead of two different forums? Am dumb, sorry. Feel free to delete one.

Ok I got one of everything and went home. 92mm. Delta Fans AFB0913H 13V 0.3A fan. Pretty beefy. Putting in a random 92mm Delta from a dell. Half the power draw but hopefully it'll do the job.

If you really want silence, go for Noctua

Well aware of Noctua and I intend to get one eventually, but this computer requires a fan to run for more than a couple minutes, and these are what I had at work.
