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

Of course on top will be better, but again less aesthetic in my opinion.

The one without the footings doesn't make much difference in result, but is a little noisier because it makes the blade vibrate. The footings are 2 cm, which i consider a bit high and not needed, so will look for half or less that size

That's more aesthetically displeasing as side fan to me .

Better on top of the heat sink for sure.

Fan underneath does nothing to the heat sink.

If a fan underneath does nothing then explain why it decrease temperature by 10°C on a Pro+.

Of course it does a lot, it removes hot air from the box, because the plastic case works as an insulator

But a side fan isn't aesthetic, while a fan underneath you almost don't notice.

I had 2 Vorke Z6 die already within less than a year

Vorke with drilled holes.
Mecool with side fan.

The 80x80x10 usb fans arrived.

I did some simple test with a Pro+ that has a 40x40x11 heat sink installed, by placing a fan right under the bottom, on 2 cm footings.

I didn't drill any holes or whatever in the base.

Running Stress CPU it would max out at 69°C. Suction gave a little better result as blowing.

Mind you i'm living in a tropical country. Without the fan it will reach 80°C within 10 minutes with Stress CPU.

In about a week i will test with a Vorke Z6 with a 76mm hole drilled in the base.

No need on Z6. Just drill bigger holes on the right side ( I used a 1/8 drill git ). Expand 12 holes. A fan on the side cools it enough.

I just finished installing this 35x35x8mm fan/heatsink. I'm letting the heatsink compound cure, but I'll post results when it's up and running.

Yes, very nice. Looking forward to your results. How noisy/quiet at 5V ? Can you post a link for the combo ...

Looks good.....

Nice little fan. How well does it work ?
Do you need holes in the lid of that box ?
???

I did not do the tests, as the dollar is high on my currency I'll have to let it pass, maybe some until it gets cheap. But this fan looks great, if you remove the heatsink and put with thermal paste will be able to dw close the box, the measurements are in the images. Although the hole made in the lid can not be undone, it can be useful for those who have not yet pierced the lid.
