Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What MacBook models does this fan work with?
This fan is specifically for the MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar, model A1707, released in Late 2016 and Mid 2017, with EMC numbers 3072 or 3162.

Q2: How do I know whether I need the left or right fan?
The left fan is located above the left speaker (near the MagSafe/USB-C ports), while the right fan is on the opposite side. You can check by opening the bottom case or using repair guides.

Q3: Is this fan loud?
No. It is designed to operate quietly, matching the original acoustic profile of the MacBook. If you’re hearing loud noise, it may be due to dust or worn bearings in the old fan.

Q4: Can I install this fan myself?
Yes, with the proper tools and some care. You'll need a P5 Pentalobe and T5 Torx screwdriver. We recommend following a repair guide or seeking help if unfamiliar with MacBook disassembly.

Q5: Is thermal paste needed when replacing this fan?
No thermal paste is involved in fan replacement. The fans are mounted separately from the CPU/GPU heat sink.
