Description

Blackmagic Design Spares - Fan - DeckLink 4K Extreme 12GThe Blackmagic Design Spares Fan DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G is a high velocity, low profile cooling unit designed specifically for the dual PCB architecture of the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. Because this card features two daughterboards and handles massive data throughput (up to 12G SDI and HDMI 2. 0), it generates significantly more heat than standard capture cards, making the fan a mission critical component.

The Blackmagic Design Spares - Fan - DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G is a high-velocity, low-profile cooling unit designed specifically for the dual-PCB architecture of the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. Because this card features two daughterboards and handles massive data throughput (up to 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0), it generates significantly more heat than standard capture cards, making the fan a mission-critical component.

Thermal Management for 12G-SDI

The DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G utilizes a high-performance FPGA to manage real-time 4K 60p capture and playback. The fan is integrated into a specialized shroud system that directs air across both the primary processor and the high-speed memory modules.

  • Active Shroud Cooling: The fan doesn't just sit on a heatsink; it pulls air through the "sandwich" design of the card to ensure that the internal daughterboard (which handles the physical SDI/HDMI connections) remains cool.

  • 12V DC Operation: Powered directly via the PCIe bus, the fan speed is often dynamically managed based on the card’s internal thermal sensors.

Signs of a Failing Fan

On a high-end card like the 4K Extreme 12G, a failing fan can lead to immediate production downtime:

  • Digital Artifacts: Overheating often causes "tearing," green blocks, or "sparkle" artifacts in the 12G-SDI video stream.

  • Card Dropouts: The card may suddenly disappear from the Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup utility during a session as the FPGA enters a thermal protection shutdown.

  • Mechanical Noise: A buzzing or "dying" sound from your workstation's chassis is a clear indicator that the fan's bearings have reached the end of their life cycle.

Key Features

  • Genuine Blackmagic Part: Guaranteed to meet the specific static pressure requirements needed to push air through the card's dense dual-layer design.

  • Balanced for Low Vibration: Crucial for high-end workstations where mechanical vibration can interfere with sensitive internal components.

  • Direct Plug-and-Play: Features the correct micro-connector for the DeckLink’s PCB, requiring no wire splicing or modification.


Technical Installation Note

Replacing the fan on the 4K Extreme 12G is a more advanced task than on standard cards due to the dual-board construction:

  • Board Separation: In some versions of this card, you may need to carefully unscrew the daughterboard to access the fan's mounting points or power header. Handle the interconnecting pins with extreme care.

  • Precision Screws: Use a Phillips #00 precision screwdriver. These screws are very small and can easily be lost inside a computer case if you are not working on a clean, magnetic mat.

  • Heatsink Clearance: Ensure that no dust "pillows" have formed between the fan and the heatsink fins. If the heatsink is clogged, even a brand-new fan will fail to cool the card effectively.

  • ESD Protocol: This card contains highly sensitive 12G-SDI circuitry. Always use an anti-static wrist strap and work on a grounded surface to prevent permanent damage to the FPGA.

Do you currently have the card removed from the workstation, or are you diagnosing the noise while it's still powered on?

Well thought out and easy to install
Color: 2-Pack Black, Color: 2-Pack Black
Definitely organizes and maximizes cabinet space for spice storage. It’s a little rickety. If you are using glass spice jars you will likely need to use the included screws into the cabinet because the double face tape it comes with might not hold up. It might work with the plastic spice containers, but even then it seems like it would not be sturdy enough to hold the weight. The instructions were clear and it installed quickly. If it lasts, it was definitely a value upgrade in my cabinet.

Don't buy the other brands
Color: 2-Pack Black
I'd give these a 10 if I could. I bought another version but returned ii because I didn't think it was very sturdy. These were only $8 more and what a difference. They are a very well made and a lot more sturdy. The extra $8 was a real bargain and well worth it.

Great for short people to see and retrieve spices from upper shelf! Holds a lot of weight easily!
Color: 2-Pack Black
These spice racks were very easy to install in my cabinets. Actually, I have only used the adhesive, and they are holding all of the weight of the spices without any issue! These are remarkably heavy duty. I am short (5"3") and most of the second shelf is not really very useable without a stool. I can pull these out and turn the racks making all of them visible and easy to reach! I have two and I'm seriously considering ordering more! It makes organizing a breeze too!
