Works fine, easy to fit, but quite noisy. Latest Ubuntu doesn't seem to have support for variable fan speed yet, so it can get quite annoying. Will replace with passive cooling in a FLIRC case when it's available for the Pi5.

Even under full CPU load, keeps the Pi 5 at around 60-65C. The speed is controlled via PWM, once the kernel pwm_fan module loads, and so the fan runs at different rates. Will stop completely if temperature permits. Even at full speed, there is little noise and, when the speed is controlled, I don't even notice it. Note, when Pi 5 first boots, the fan runs at full speed until the PWM control kicks in.

Fits nicely, very easy to install, seems to be robustly constructed. The built-in fan starts running when the machine exceeds 50 degrees C or so.
