Either way, it'll function without blowing up something in the supply.  It
may not, however, provide as much cooling.  If you can find a fan that would
match both current and voltage, it'd be better.

I believe the new fan is more efficent (it's a high-quality Papst fan).
    The specs say it moves the same amount of air as the old one.

Thanks for your advice!
