Shuttle SN85G4 XPC Fan Replacement – MythTV Frontend
Posted by Nathan Parks under Geek , MythTV[5] Comments
I was having overheating issues on my Shuttle SN85G4 XPC. It’s an older box but it’s been running great so I decided it was worth keeping alive. After checking the fan it seemed to be fine but the motherboard quit supplying power to the fan! I decided the best thing to do would be to replace the fan and get a separate speed controller for the fan. I found the Zalman ZM-OP1 after doing a little researching and it worked out perfectly. It’s originally intended for one of their video card coolers and as a bonus contains an extra splitter that can select between Silent mode: 20 dB/1400 RPM and Normal: 32 dB/2800 RPM.
