*MBPR 2012 15" (left fan only replaced) Holes DO NOT align Entire fan housing flexes in a distorted manner due to misalignment. Bending when installing third to last mounting screw The plastic casing stretched more and (see photo) the plastic tab on the side had to be cut off to allow the screw to even fit in the hole Luckily this particular screw (each individual mounting screw is designed differently) has a very wide head at the back which back cover is still removed (so little did I trust the product after installation) I checked that the fan spins at all it works but compared to the norm a hand fan (right side/alter) I didn't r instead the Pardarsey fan doesn't whisper. Let's see how long that lasts and I'll update. In my opinion are these Padarsey fans overpriced for what they are. By the way, there are no instructions in the box. You should know that about a year ago (that's how long I live with fan noise) I bought iFixit fans for my 2012 MBPR 15" and found out the hard truth: iFixit swore the fans were new. Inside was here and there baked on dust which the cleaner missed while they were nicely cleaned "like new" on the outside - closer inspection with flashlight a stitch on the inside (everyone lies) finally revealed it half and feigned surprise and I got my money back. After some research I found out that there are NO new fans made from old stock (Apple doesn't sell them to anyone) and anything you buy online that claims to be OEM is all ripped out of the back alleys of the Asian fringe is no joke.While Padarsey fans don't claim to be OEM (just cheap aftermarket fakes), I'd rather take a risk with a shelled OEM teardown.That's how I feel about a Padarsey product.* *BE WORKING EDIT/UPDATE: Af as long as I was writing this, the fan just started making a faint noise. Nothing bad, not disturbing, but it is.
