Genuine Dell replacement fan for Latitude XT

This OEM CPU cooling fan carries part number FW007 and is built specifically for the Dell Latitude XT laptop. It uses a 3-pin connector that matches the original motherboard header. The unit is new and intended as a direct swap for a worn or failed cooler. Installers should verify the exact model label before fitting.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The fan is engineered for efficient heat dissipation and quiet operation under typical workloads. Its 3-pin design allows the system to regulate speed based on temperature, keeping acoustic output low during everyday tasks. No independent power draw or noise figures are supplied by the manufacturer. Long-term stability relies on the original thermal design of the Latitude XT chassis.

What the bundled connector and fit change

The precision 3-pin connector ensures a secure electrical and mechanical match without adapters. OEM dimensions of 3.15 by 3.15 by .4 inches and a weight of .15 lbs mean the fan seats exactly in the factory mounting points. This eliminates cable routing issues and restores the intended airflow path. No additional brackets, screws or software are included in the package.

Questions about this item

How do I install the FW007 CPU cooling fan in a Dell Latitude XT, and what step is most often done incorrectly?

Remove the bottom cover, disconnect the old 3-pin connector, unscrew the fan assembly, fit the new unit, reconnect the 3-pin plug, then replace the cover. The step most often missed is fully seating the 3-pin connector so the fan spins and reports speed to the BIOS.

What maintenance or replacement will the FW007 fan need over time?

Dust buildup on the blades and heatsink fins reduces airflow; clean with compressed air every few months. If bearing noise appears or the fan stops spinning, replace the entire FW007 unit — it is a single field-replaceable part with no separate serviceable components.

What limit appears first when the Latitude XT runs sustained heavy loads with this fan?

The fan’s fixed 3-pin speed curve and compact 3.15" x 3.15" x 0.4" frame cap maximum airflow, so thermal throttling of the CPU occurs before the fan itself reaches any mechanical limit.
