Two A6-3500's Two Different Coolers what you have? - Beer40oz - 2012-06-06
Well after I inspected my second A6-3500 APU they included a totally different fan from the other. One is slightly taller and wider... and the fans are both different.
So that means.... what?
Now one must be more noisy then the other.
If you are limited in space one is slightly taller.
Pretty weird? or they ran out of fans?
Just for your info!
Who ever has the A6-3500 witch one did you get?
Take a look....
The one on the left fan reads:
DKM-7D 52A-A1-GP
1120FS1005

Mine came with a different one than those two
. It has a blue handle different than both and a 4-pin power cable like the one on the right above.

My A6 came with a stock cooler that looks like the one on the left.
Funny thing is,...when I originally unpacked it,...I wasn't used to them smearing the paste on for you.
So what do you think I did,..yup,..touched it.
DUH!
Good thing I went with the Shuriken.

I really thought all fans would be the same for the same CPU.... this is a bummer.... one will test with one and they give you something else.

... my cooler from my A6-3500 has the fan from the one on the left, and the heatsink on the right... at least that's what it looks like because it uses the same mounting as the one on the right but the fan is the one from the left.
My A8-3870K came with a taller heatsink but the same fan as my A6-3500. I actually swapped that one onto my A6 system thinking the bigger heatsink would let me run the fan at a lower speed and it appears to have worked well in that regard.
Good catch and yes, the differences in fans makes it very difficult to give an accurate review of the fan noise and would explain why some people say their's is loud while others say its quiet.

At them moment I am in construction of my new A6-PACK Desktop.... and I tried the one on the RIGHT... and its loud... even at lower speeds it has this buzz noise....
Just to try out....
Just installed my AKASA low profile cooler.... and wow its wonderful quiet... will update soon...
