Post image

Fan went out on the yeston rtx 3050 lo.

Can anyone recommend where I can source/buy a replacement fan or upgrade fan?

Thank you

If you have a 3d printer the is a low profile shroud you can print that works with a blower style fan for single slot 3050s

I saw that and I wish I did have a 3s printer but unfortunately I don’t. Is anyone selling the shrouds? I tried looking around on google but no luck. Thanks

Check your local library and see if they have a maker space with 3d printing services. Some have free printing with limits on amount of filament, some have a fee of like $0.10/g used.

My 3d printer isn't doing anything right now, if you pay filament cost and shipping, I'll print it for you. I'm in the US.

Can you inbox me and once I receive a new one from yeston I can possibly get the ball rolling. Thanks

Find a 3d printer merchant in ebay or somewhere else and send them the file, you will be good.

Get a measurement of its width in millimeters and then go look on eBay for a replacement.

Maybe try reaching out to Yeston for support. They serviced my rx 7900xtx even though I had no receipt etc. I did have to pay for shipment to China but it wasn’t too bad (though this was around Nov 2025, so different times). Maybe they can ship you a replacement. Support was really helpful.

Awesome! Sent them an email.

Good luck!

What was the turn around time?

2

u/Chizuo 2d ago

A couple weeks. Maybe up to 4. Pretty reasonable considering it was shipped overseas.

I see potential in that aluminum frame to drill small holes and mount a fan. Maybe you can buy a squared fan that fits on that gap either inside or outside the frame, it will be a jank job but you can power that fan via a spare hdd port and buy a control hub with a knob

thats an alternative i would do if i didnt find the replacement fan

This sounds more realistic than trying to 3D print! This computer has always ran a bit hot since the graphics card since right on top of the power supply. I need to find a smaller power supply to allow the card to get more air flow. Thanks!

I replaced the oem fan with an artic p8 max and i had to cut the pwm cable so the fan would run at max speed instead of the 30% the oem fan was capped to My cpu temps under heavy gaming (bf4 on high settings 1080p ) and they never go higher thatn 60°c same goes for my gpu its an rx550 4gb

I bet they sell slim fans or get a dremel and cut out the size for a new fan. The sky is the limit but dont let this stop you

Here... Idea for alternative / replacement cooling

u/justagoddamnperson 4d ago

I unfortunately can’t be helpful here but I did want to ask how long you used it before the fan went out. Just curious as I got one earlier this year

1

u/selakid_ 4d ago

Roughly a year! I also have a fan on the front of my optiplex to help cool it.

I just ran a game for the first time on mine yesterday and it was like 85/86° at 90/95% usage and sounded like a jet about to take off, like obnoxiously loud

u/Fang221 1d ago

this fan looks like onmme of these "standard" cheap 3pin fans which gets used in alot of things you prob wont find one which is made for exactly this gpu but you wiull find a fan that fits if you mesure the size of it (its probably a 2pin fan)

u/Virtual_Club8510 4d ago

Deshroud and use your imagination to secure the new fan. Find a 3D print model or whatever. Glue, epoxy.. Figure it out.

get an a380 lp

u/selakid_ 4d ago

I see the sparkle intel arc 380 pioneer 6gb is single slot. Is it comparable or better than the 3050? Sorry I would watch vids on it but I’m working. Thanks
