2500/2600 Fan Info?

Greetings!

Can any of you 2500/2600 receiver owners please post the nameplate information from the fan? I know it's a Centaur, but anymore info that you could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

Looks like a 119 or 120mm fan, about 35mm deep. Runs on 120V, rated about 16W.

Thanks Echowars!

Any airflow information? I'd like to compare the 2500/2600 Centaur fan to the Rotron in my 510M. I've replaced the Muffin A21 in my 510M with a new one from Digikey, but the 45 dBA is way too noisy. I'm wondering if the later model receivers with the same "Space age" cooling chamber used a lower air flow. The 105 CFM the Mufflin blows is a lot of air. The exhaust is always cool, it's never kicked in to the higher speed.

You'd have to find specific specs on that fan, which I'd have no idea where to get. In general, the more watts drawn, the more air it blows. With active cooling, it doesn't take much airflow to get the job done. Quiet is the goal.
