Fitting the 30mm Sunon Maglev but I still prefer the cheaper 30mm Pi Fan - Just use a 33 Ohm resistor for the Pi Fan.

I wouldn't recommend using a grill on the fan though, because it simply generates more unwanted noise.
Congrats on your great work!
No noise from the grill, the fan is moving quite slowly in comparison to PC speeds where it may be an issue.

Thanks - The USB +5V pin on the underside is the safer option if you don't have a tiny soldering tip to use.MK818B, T428, ATV 1220, CS918S, TV01, S89H, R89, ADT-1, MK808B Plus, MINIX X8-H Plus, Tronsmart Orion R68

For testing purposes, I took the lid off my original Mecool M8S L (the one that I had killed) which I had drilled holes into, and put it onto my new Mecool M8S Pro L with Bluetooth Voice. I just laid the fan that is connected to one of the two USB ports on top of my box. The temp went from 88 C to 55 C.
This is using my box for my Security cam monitor.Last edited by clarkss12; 03-30-2018, 21:08.MK818B, T428, ATV 1220, CS918S, TV01, S89H, R89, ADT-1, MK808B Plus, MINIX X8-H Plus, Tronsmart Orion R68

I did the same, started with few small holes and a fan above, but the noise forced me to make a bigger mod.MK818B, T428, ATV 1220, CS918S, TV01, S89H, R89, ADT-1, MK808B Plus, MINIX X8-H Plus, Tronsmart Orion R68

Tomorrow, I will grab my hole saw, Drimmel and drill, and make it permanent using your videos for instructions. I will solder to the backside of the board, but no resistor or transister. I never turn my boxes off, so I will have to keep an eye on dust collecting on the fan and internals.
I have to have a resistor for the fan noise, but if you are OK on that score, go for it.
Looking forward to photos minimum ...
