CPU FAN Clip ReadyNas Pro 6
CPU Fan gave in last week so ordered a NoiseBlocker replacement. A bit of careless handling and I snapped the plastic clip-on ring that holds the Fan on the heatsink when removing the old fan.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement part? Not particularly keen on going down the ’superglue route’

I do have two comments on the fan choice though - the original was 15mm, and as far as I can see all the NoiseBlocker fans are 25mm. It might not fit without bending the chassis metal a bit.
Also, the original had a CFM spec of 48.7, and static pressure of 5.35. NoiseBlocker doesn't have a fan that meets that spec. So keep a close eye on the cooling performance. FWIW, a Dynatron DF128015BU meets the factory specs (but also would have about the same noise level as the stock fan).
Thanks for the reply, although not to the question I asked about the mounting clip...
Noiseblocker PC-P is 15mm, and I did find the performance quite close...
I will certainly keep an eye on the cooling performance, but for now I actually see better cooling than with the stock fan. Altough that one was 'limping' towards the end..
Again, anybody actually able to help me with a suggestion on how to sort the broken fan mounting bracket?

Thx, I missed that one. CFM looks good, the static pressure seems lower than stock. Good to hear that it is performing well.
