Default Current on PSU Fan

wrote:

I need to replace the 80mm DC Fan in the PSU of my computer. The
label on the broken fan show 0.25A. Do I need to replace it with a
fan that has the same spec? I notice that many similar fans seem to
be 0.08A or similar. I'm also curious to know what the 0.25A means?
Is that the power that it will draw when it's spinning or the amount
of power that it can handle? What would happen if I replaced it with
a 0.08A fan?


The 0.25a is the current that the fans draws when in operation. The 0.08a
fan will likely spin slower, move less air, and be quieter.

Make sure both fans are 12vdc fans.
