    What's the difference between these ADDA 12V fans?

    As you can see, there's a 201 and 202. The number below the part no. I'm assuming is the date of manufacture.

    Maybe the 202 is just newer?

    So no difference, just a number change?

    I believe so, it could be something minor like wiring supplier or batch number change.

    I'd say you're right, the higher numbered one is just newer

    I believe the number under that is the batch number.

    Usually as said before, newer batch or model number. Often for newer laptop revisions. For example, the GT73VR and GT75VR use fans of the same spec, But the model sub-numbers of the ADDA fans are much different. The GT75VR for example has a non painted fan plate, while the GT73VR is painted black. Functionally, they are 100% identical.

    counted 12 on the older one, probably because of dark picture, but yeah if both are 13, then there is probably no difference except for one is newer.
