Now I had to connect it inside of the case:įinally! The first release candidate of my mini case. So I left this option in the end and returned to the cheaper and standard model. As well, you can find it only as a spare part on eBay. The fan itself is quite expensive and you cannot connect it easily. It was quite problematic to connect it and I had to find contacts intuitively: In the end I came back to the laptop fans and tried the MacBook fan. It worked, however the fan was running on high speeds in order to cool down the device: I draw and printed the following adapter (the upper side firmly connects to the case). This approach had few advantages: you can power the device from the network, connect and control fans using vanilla firmware for Raspberry Pi.īefore I’ve decided on the final fan model (spoiler: it appeared to be the one on the picture above), I had to go through different options, the first one was Noctua 5V 40mm. I decided to use standard PoE shield with 5V fan. It was the time to create appropriate cooling system.įrom the very beginning I didn’t want to make any unnecessary holes on the side and frontal panels. ![]() No wonder – it got throttled and overheated. A post shared by Uptime Lab is how it looked like from the inside:Īt this point I’ve connected console to the TV and run some CPU-heavy tasks for testing.
