Lasko really needs better quality control. The new Air King fans at my school are having trouble oscillating or not oscillating at all after only a few years of hanging.

I compared something like this (i7 4771 + GTX 1650) with modern powerful i7 13700 + RTX 4060, it kinda suprised to see how well it keep up nowadays kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGO2gIObmtGgedEsi=Vj13lXDPJbTb5C1S

I clicked because I have one that I haven't Frankensteined yet. Mine has an i5 7500 though. You can install win11 on it fairly easy as there are plenty of tutorials on how to do it out there, not that I'll ever switch to 11.

I now am in possession of a recalled motor (as you probably know from watching my video of it). On my recalled motor (it is an **actual** recalled motor from 2000-01 and also not saying yours isn't recalled but mine is just older and "better") the iron core is as thick as modern WeatherShield motors IIRC. I don't know if that's true though. Mine has a 4uF capacitor. Mine has the same amount of copper visually compared to yours. The Hungder motor is quite inferior. A motor from a 3733 from 2005-06 is not as powerful as a recalled motor. I know this because I had bought a 2005-06 3733 and it had thinner blades. If I put a recalled blade on it, the motor would perform slower. No, the 2005-06 motor was not involved in the recall because it was paired with a Blue Plug. On my recalled motor the wire comes out the back of the motor as opposed to the side, and the recalled motor is mounted in the back as opposed to mounting on the front of the "insulation ring".

Why were they recalled

You gotta love the Sagittas!

Awesome Startup Sound on the B20200 Same one I got. I enjoyed the video

Couldn't really observe any shake/vibration as you moved the camera around too much. The camera has to fixed on a mount and rock steady if you're going to film vibrations.

Also: If you get any more of these pot aluminum motors that have the octagonal stator, please ship a few out to me so I can use them or have them as spares. I will absolutely cover shipping.

Love frankenstein builds. Im thinking of getting one and drilling holes in the panel to pass the riser cable through and screw on some wood platform or something to place the gpu 😂.

I believe Lasko may have started phasing in some new molds for new blades. The inner text has the Arial Rounded font on the glossier variant (which oddly has slightly more blade pitch, cool!) and a different font on the matte variant with less blade pitch than the glossier blades. I know this because I bought an Air King 9733 (which obviously has the 3733 blades), it had the glossy blade set with more pitch, and compared it on a huddled winding 3733 motor to a standard less pitched 3733 blade. They were slightly different in sound but look the same pitch-wise. It's nowhere near the weather-shield though.

Poor motor motor motor motor motor

Ouch

Good comparison between both 3733s I enjoyed the video, especially the 3733 that doesn't shake. That is a 1st for Lasko I wished they made them all like that. But that's just not the case with them all the time.

I need to know what power supply do you use in this video? I hope you answers

Glad to see the balance is good and that’s a much better motor are you going to keep it that way and i enjoyed the video

Regarding the GPU, the PCIe Slot provides 75W and the 6pin cable from the PSU provides another 75W, the cpu on these optiplexes is usually a 65W, you can do your math, but the gist of it is that you can basically put any gpu with a 6pin power connector and it will be fine, not the most efficient, because PSU's efficiency peak is at at around 50 to 60% load if i remember correctly, but still in the safe zone, if you wanna upgrade you could look for a RX 6500 XT, i think the Gigabyte has a 6pin, and all it's ITX variants should be running a 6pin.

I am watching this on an old optiplex 790 I upgraded. i5 2400 to an i7 2600, no gpu to a low GTX 1050 2gb and got 12gb of ram in it. also added an ssd as a main drive on top of the harddrive in it. It certainly isnt the best machine but for most low to medium end games it runs perfectly. Even minecraft runs at 300-400 fps without mods. For about $130 AUD including upgrades it was absolutely worth it. It also doesnt overflow out of the case, but only just

This is actually sick dude

If you still have the wallowed out weathershield blade you can always use high temp hot glue to create a better grip in the motor shaft.

Typically, these tuna cylinder motors come with plenty of lubrication from the factory, with minimal exceptions. Same goes with the tuna square motors. Therefore adding zoom spout will cause problems as you probably added more than 6 drops on the front/rear bearings. AFAIK there will not be a problem with the windings coming into contact with zoom spout.

I use oil on my fans every year. If you use the fan in a room with dust, you might want to oil them more frequently. The oil I use is left over new 5w-30 motor oil, works great. No, I don't oil the copper windings.

i took out the psu on my optiplex 5040 for better cooling of my amd firepro w5100 bc that mf has the ball bearings on the fan diein so it spins uncorrect and a laptop cooling pad mounted to the top its hella jank but it works lol

Love to see these hackjob builds, leaps and bounds more interesting to watch than new / top dollar builds.

is the camera cracked or something

these optiplex machines of this era are great canvases for a cheap lil gaming machine. I had an optiplex 3050 with an i5 7500 that I put an old 1050ti in and it ran real nice.

good thing to see im not the only one why did this to a optiplex 7010

This is amazing broooooo i subbed

WTF dude

are you filming from inside a bubble? whats with the bad lighting? also i had a fuse blow on mine because it fell over one night.

The magnets are the first to fail when it comes to overheating, I've done it before with a older unit back in the day lol

you should replace your camera lense.

aw man what a cute little motor rip

Hey man! Put some weights on the blades to create drag and see what happens lol

Capacitor probably didn't die completely but lost most of its capacitance, very little torque may indicate that. Try replacing it, maybe it'll run again XD

What a shame, The motor is about to burn out. I'm so sorry, buddy.

Is your camrea lens broken

Fuck yeah autistic fan channel.

They took tuna can motors to the next level. (And the newer ones are tuna squares of course) Also the motor quit because the "Blue Plug" has a fuse in it which popped.

You should put a heavier blade on it like a Lakewood 200i blade or one of those metal blades from really old box fans

might wanna replace your camera glass lol

I have this box fan. Very poor air flow. I just bought the Lasko pedestal fan. There are two versions. The 16 inch 3 blade and the 18 inch 5 blade. I paid a little more and went with the 18 inch. Its a good fan with super good air flow that can be felt from a distance. That's my recomendation.

Try change the capasitor

I have a model train that does that after awhile.

can you make a link to the smoking part of the box fan

very funny and cool

The weaker motor is older; it has a drifted capacitor. I assure you that with the proper 4 uF, that motor will outperform the other one. How do I know? While mine is a Promotor, the age is the same. What, with the small rotor on mine. I changed out the capacitor with an identical one with same rating and now it outperforms all other tuna can motors in my house, but only slightly!

The yellowing is probably due to plastic contamination at the factory. Also lasko is cheap so it's no surprise that it has cosmetic issues. The new square motors are kind of junk but they still do the job. 77 watts is not bad for a square motor. Ew, cophaco caught on to the square trend?? Wow, Lasko is going downhill.

Will Lasko make the 1990s fans in 2025?

I did the exact same thing where I put a 4uF capacitor onto a 6uF weathershield motor and that slowed it down enough to be reasonable but spins as fast as a lakewood 101A. Agreed, the lasko tower switches are junk! I replace it with a 7 dollar 2pack of switches on amazon with the brand "Taiss" manufactured by "Ushun". 8uF capacitors always come from Sagittas. That one is from a sagitta judging by the fact it says "["SG" Lot # whatever]"
