Dear Gary and John,
just small questions about the Noctua fans replacement.
How did you re-wired 3-wires Noctuas to K3 2-wires connection? Just cut the
yellow wire?
Also I am interresting about the details of "silicon rubber
anti-vibration mounts to attach the fans to the Elecraft fan panel and
Hi Gary,
I had thought about re-wiring the fans with 2 pin Molex connectors ( I have a
packet of them here) but took Harry's lead and trimmed down the 3 pin instead.
It was easy and the result very neat - the plastic is soft and easily cut with
a hobby knife. I cable tied the excess lead
have found this to be a worthwhile mod.

Thanks to Harry and John for the excellent advice on the replacement fan.
The UTEC fans that came with my most recent KPA3 (September 2013) were very
annoying to me since I have a quiet radio room with no amplifier. The
problem was not so much one of volume as sound quality. The fan noise was

I just want to share my experience in case it's of interest to others.
I have excellent hearing and I have K3 #5102 and while it's a rig with
outstanding capabilities, the fan noise has always bothered me. My K3 has the
Utec fans and even on low speed, there's something about the

Hello Harry
Hello Harry,
I'm about to follow your lead and install the Noctua fans in my K3. Did you
have to use alternate mounting hardware for the fans? I see that the Noctua fan
is 25mm thick, vs 15mm for the stock Utech fan and so the mounting bolts will
be too short to hold the Noctua fan?
Thanks,

Has anyone replaced the K3 fans with a quieter model? If so, please provide
the model number and source.
The first K3 I built the fans were very quite, but the last one I build was
pretty loud and sold it. I am thinking of getting another if I can
Henry,
From the fan specs, it sounds like you have found a suitable
replacement. I do not know how that fits with the Elecraft overall
design parameters, but on the surface (based on the fan specs alone), it
sounds like a winner.
