need a fan for XPS 8950

i'm hoping a desktop question is ok... i'm running out of options.

the xps 8950 power supply has 2 of these yate loon fans. its part number is D60BV-12. it's 60x60x25mm, with 3 leads. when i ordered one on amazon i received a version that is 20mm deep with two leads (shipped from china)

somehow the third lead delivers a health signal, because when i installed that fan, system performance dropped by about 50%. performance was fully restored when i put the original noisy fan back in. photo shows the label of the fan i need.

i'll be very grateful to be pointed towards a competent supplier. thanks, all. -mark

bingo! that's the one.

i really thought after using amazon for fifteen years that my searches were thorough, but i missed this one.

it's not the cpu fan, but rather one of 2 fans on the power supply.

this is exactly what i need.

many thanks!

@junior_varsity absolutely is this question okay. We are not brand or device focused, with us it's all about repair and helping people to fix their devices.

If this is the processor fan then the part number can vary. Most commonly it is a GPR6P MXY5H, GPR6P 0GPR6P or a 76pc8 for the water cooled 125W CPU

If you want to stick with a Yate Loon fan then get the d60BV-12 3 wire version from places like this
