Default CDT Gold Resistors?

For a few years we've used the term 'gold resistor' to describe the desirable higher performance resistor for the CDT fan.

Members need to exercise caution as these days there are a lot of very poor gold anodised resistors available on certain auction sites.

The durable resistor is a 0.47ohm (R47) 100W resistor such as the Arcol HS100 here

https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/panel...stors/0188065/

The photograph below shows from left to right the MGR OEM resistor, the Arcol 100W resistor and the claimed 100W .47ohm resistor from the aforementioned site. Personally, I doubt the last one would dissipate more than 25W for any period of time before expiring.It is about half the weight of the MGR resistor.

Recommendation: if you wish to improve on the OEM resistor, buy one from a known forum trader or get the Arcol providing you have the facility to solder it yourself to thick wires.

And I still heave some of the RS components resistors in stock should anyone require one.

I see that RS - the UK distributor of ARCOL resistors - are not expecting any supply of this particular resistor until July 2022!

Queues and fights outside trikey's next?

Andy - better not feed Meg too well over the next few days in case of intruders!
