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?

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.
