    Hi guys,

    The fan on my PC is completely gone. It is 0.14 Amper. The closest I can find in my parts box is 0.15 Amper. Voltage is the same. What do you think? Is it a go or a no-go?

    thanks

    A 0.15 amp fan will work fine.
    The fins on your new fan are probably a fraction of a millimetre larger than your old one, or the blades are coarser, or whatever...

    0.01 amps isn't a big deal, your PSU/mobo won't even notice the difference.

    0.15A will work fine, no doubt about that.
