Overheating Mecool M8s Pro L and Pro + (and others ?) - Options ???

What's the default voltage of this fan? 12V?

I am now running both boxes without the resistor. I can’t hear the box running over the tv when something is on the box playing. So no I can’t hear it.

Ok, I removed the resistor and then conntected the fan up to the other usb on the bottom of the board and everything is good. No issues not sure what’s up but all good.

So you are running your box without a resister?? How is the fan noise?

I did all the same things P.X. did as he was so kind to walk me through it and tel me what to get and he didn’t have any issues. First box was fine this one just had that odd thing, I seem to be good. Ow when I plugged stuff into the usb all good as well

I just noticed when I plugged a usb cable into the USB port the box turned off. What does that mean?

My guess is the fan is using too mich power from the USB and the last one can't handle it when it comes to plugging another source to it.

I think I do, let me open this up and let u know. Thanks

I would have to say that you are putting pressure on the fan. The fan does not have much torque, so any little pressure will stop it....... I would replace the resistor with a lower resistance, you maybe lowering the voltage too much. Do you have a volt meter to check the voltage drop??

No, did both boxes the same way

Clarkss what picture do u want? U want me to open up the box again and take a picture of the inside?

thanks

No, does the fan poke thru the top of your box??

[LilSnoop40]

Post a picture. Thanks

Question, I added a fan to both boxes this weekend. The first one was flawless no issues. The second I added a resistor to I feel like everything was perfect as it looks perfect but when I tightened the screws holding the lid down I noticed that it wouldn’t power on. So I losened the screws and then it powered on. Any ideas to y this would happen?

thank you

Yep, there's BR in all place, lol. About the cost of shipping I findt a seller from Brasilia who sent by registered letter. It was much cheaper than paying PAC or having to cash a specific amount to get free shipping.

Currently I have two Raspberry PI3 fans here, I'm going to test later on the SD Card pads, I already noticed that it made less noise before. If it do a good ventilation I already save $ 3.00 because I will not need to buy the resistors.
