    Red face Dreamcast fan replacement

    Does anyone have a particular recommendation for replacing the 30mm 5vdc fan in a 1st generation Dreamcast? Mine has become very annoying...

    The sticker lists it as 5vdc @ .07A; it's 3-wire so I know the DC is doing some fan control or reading the RPM. I've looked up a few generic 30mm fans, but they're high RPM (8000) and I don't want it to be that noisy.

    I'm proficient at soldering and I've already had the console completely disassembled; so it's no problem to replace it, I'm just not sure what I can use without the DC shutting itself off/tripping a min fan speed sensor.
