wuzzzer Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Just wanted to put a plug in for AC Infinity's 120mm USB fan. I had disconnected the fans in my Crown X1000 pro amp because they were loud enough to be annoying if I was listening to music quietly or during quiet parts of movies. Wanting to keep the amp cooled I looked for a USB powered fan that I couldn't hear from my seating position. I found the AC Infinity one on Amazon for about $13. I have it plugged in to one of my TV's USB ports so that it's always running when my TV is on. It has three speeds but I found that any speed higher than Low was audible from my couch. Fortunately even at its lowest setting it keeps my amp cool to the touch even after watching an action movie with lots of LFE. I have it sitting behind my amp blowing toward the opening where the original fans are. Working great so far! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know , I figured they could perhaps be the same fans ,either way , the model of the fan is written on the sticker --when you call Crown , they will ask you for the amplifier serial no now the waranty could be expired , but if they have had issues with Fans , they might send you a set free of charge based on a Goodwill , there seems to be quite a few X1000 fan noise complaints on the web ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Crown have an excellent warranty ---so definitely give them a call , could be your lucky day - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amped Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I don't have a Crown amp but installed a Noctua fan under the tube cage of my Bob Latino VTA ST120. They make a zillion fans of different sizes and specs. They were also helpful with questions. https://noctua.at Hope this helps someone.
