“Bought for a Raspberry Pi in the attic connected to an ADS-B aircraft monitor. Its existing low-speed fan which was on all the time worked OK, but the software control fan enables it to operate at full speed during the day when it is hot and shut off at night when it's cooler, to maintain a more consistent temperature.”
“My non-controlled 30mm fan had been running continuously since March 2021 and was now becoming very noisy.
I bought three software-controllable fans, one as a replacement and two as spares. I am hoping that each one will last much more than two years of continuous use.
Replacement of the fan was a breeze. Setting the Pi to control the fan was very straightforward.”
“Works perfectly with the Pi in a case.
Had to get the 30mm Fan Grill, as the fan kept catching on the plastic side of my case.
But this paired with small copper heat syncs keeps the Pi Overclocked at 70 Degrees without throttling so it does the job.”
