3d printable frunk fan stl file
I used tinkercad to mod the original file, (it took hours to do) it’s designed to suck air out of the headset using a Noctua NF-A4x10 5V, Premium Quiet Fan
The heat isn’t that bad but after a hour of playing it starts getting pretty warm, the fan should be really quiet and the lens cover will still go on to keep the appearance of a stock headset (I might have to add 4 small 3x3mm magnets to keep the cove gap big enough for airflow)

Edit
I’m still waiting on the 5 volt noctua fan from Amazon, it should be here In 2 days I will update this post with temperature improvements and overall review.

Edit
I got the noctua 5v fan installed and it works good, I can hear it running when I’m on steamvr home and there’s no background noise but in game I can’t hear it at all.
The airflow is very gentle, I can only feel it on my eyeballs if I open them fully and lift the bottom of the hmd to increase the gap around my big nose.
The hmd stays cooler, I feel like I can play for extended periods of time easily.

Edit
I just played blades and sorcery for 40 minutes it still got hot and sweaty in the hmd, I’m hot sure if 2 fans would be better or just dry out your eyes? Maybe the best option is still a room fan, shorts, and no shirt lol

3D printable files for a dual fan bracket for the front of the Valve Index

Design Notes:


This is built upon the Valve provided 3D model of the visor and is intended to provide a way to cool the headset and/or the user. No electronics are provided, however wiring of the fans is trivial and plenty of internal space is provided.

The fans slip into the slots on the top of the bracket and are retained by internal tabs. Optional caps, which are separate files, can be snapped onto the top to cover the gap to improve looks. The bracket itself utilizes the same locating pins of the stock visor, which means magnets must be used.

This was designed around the Noctua 40mm fans, which have rubber bumpers and are a little bit thiccer than standard 40mmx10mm fans. As such, if you use stock fans, you may find them to be a bit loose. Nothing a little double sided foam tape can't fix!

Finally, this does violate the Sensor Inclusion Zone of the Index, which means it could theoretically affect tracking performance. A photo showing this is in the root of this directory.

Printing Notes:


I would not recommend printing this using ABS, or any warp-prone filament. The locating pins of the Index are very small and very distant from each other, which means even a small amount of part warp will throw off the alignment. PLA or PETG would be my recommendation here. Of course, if it does warp, that double sided foam tape can save you once again.

This has a flat bottom and is designed to be printed "upright." It will still require supports, however none on visible surfaces.

BOM


You will need to print one of each file.

These are the recommended fans: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NEMGCIA/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_.JGiDbBDF39J2

Use 1/8"x1/8" axially magnetized cylinder magnets, such as K&J #D22-N52.

No the Noctua is 5V for hot end and extruder. Here Noctua A-Series Cooling Fan Blades with AAO Frame, SSO2 Bearing (NF-A4X10-FLX 5V) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NEMGCIA you can also "upgrade" to a sunon with higher airflow to maintain better nozzle pressure https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/7927772 I put finger quotes because not sure quite yet if the higher rate Sunon performs better.

u/AnonymousHermit · 3 pointsr/ValveIndex

Magnets go in the four struts. It's printing now. I bought two Noctua 40x10mm 5v fans.

u/ProfessionalHobbyist · 3 pointsr/Reprap

The safest thing is a properly-sized resistor on the 5V rail. If you don't do that, the PSU may appear to run fine without it initially and then randomly shut down, reset, etc., potentially ruining prints. You need to keep drawing 1-2 amps at 5V to keep things happy. If you really want ideas for things to put on 5V that are actually useful:

  • 5V LEDs
  • Raspberry Pi
  • a powered USB hub
  • USB webcam
  • 5V fan(s) to cool stepper drivers/control board

    Source: Have repurposed several AT and ATX PSUs for bench supplies and reprap power supplies.

Hi!

Sorry to hear that. You are talking about the parts fan, yes?

Which Fang are you using (Thingiverse link?) Picture?

The original is probably a 40x10mm (that's 40mm square, 10mm thick).

Here's the one I recommend (a bit pricey but one of the best out there and quiet as heck, and a SIX year warranty so it's not some Chinese cr@p)

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Cooling-Bearing-NF-A4X10-FLX-5V/dp/B00NEMGCIA

or you can upgrade (if it fits, you'll have to measure) to this:

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-A4x20-FLX-premium-quality-quiet/dp/B072JK9GX6

That one is 20mm thick but moves more air, usually what you want in a Fang.

One other thought - How did it fry? C'mon, fess up, we all screw the pooch sometimes... :-)

It's a right of passage to put a hex wrench into a fan and snap the blades, you know, LOL.

give me a few to see what I got.. I ordered from Amazon.. H/o

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEMGCIA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

is the one I used!

u/payeco · 2 pointsr/homelab

You could replace the fans with some Noctuas. They definitely won't bother you. A little pricey but they're basically silent. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NEMGCIA/

u/Iunchbox · 2 pointsr/MPSelectMiniOwners

I can't seem to find a 12V Noctua 40mm fan. Will this 5V one from amazon work? and will it require any soldering?

Edit: Found a 12V Noctua

u/lord-carlos · 2 pointsr/prusa3d

Oh shit, sorry. I missread and thought the radial failed.

So it's the Noctua fan? Does it not have am model number on it?
Sure it's 50mm? I can only find a 40mm on their website: https://noctua.at/en/nf-a4x10-5v

Edit: According to this site the mk3 fan is a 40×40×10 mm. Amazon.com link

u/Le_Gogh · 2 pointsr/dreamcast

I bought this one:

u/IronAvocado · 2 pointsr/RetroPie

Noctua. They make a 40x40x10 fan that is as quiet as it's gonna get. Cools my pi to 40*C and I can't hear it at all from more than about 6" away.

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Cooling-Bearing-NF-A4X10-FLX-5V/dp/B00NEMGCIA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495053689&sr=8-2&keywords=noctua+40x40x10mm+premium+fan+nf-a4x10+flx

This thing comes with rubber mounting feet as well as vibration dampening mounting studs. Whole thing fits inside my pi case.

u/Pastoolio91 · 2 pointsr/raspberry_pi

If you plan on doing any heavy lifting with the Pi4, I'd definitely check out the MicroConnectors RAS-PCS46 as it's the only case I've found that supports 40mm fans straight out of the box. I ordered a Noctua 40x40x10mm fan to go with it, as well as a Noctua 40x40x20mm fan to try out too (want to see how much difference 10mm extra of fan blade height makes). If you order the Noctua fans, make SURE you get the 5V ones and not the 12V ones, unless you don't care about powering it from the Pi directly. I'll post links for them at the bottom of this post.

As for info on cooling, there are some excellent videos on YouTube, with one of th best being the series from Explaining Computers. He gives lots of charts and info, plus try multiple cooling solutions. Also mentioned that he should have the new cooling video done soon, so I'm personally really looking forward to seeing what Chris Barnatt cooked up for the Pi 4.

Have you checked out any reviews of IC Graphite? It was reviewed by Linus Tech Tips, JayzTwoCents, Gamers Nexus as a replacement for thermal paste on traditional PC CPU's, but all found that IC Graphite is a horrible replacement for traditional thermal paste. With a Pi4, you might be able to get away with using it if you have some active cooling going, which is likely the approach I'll be taking (except usng Artic thermal pads as I already have those on hand). I do plan on doing an experiment with my Pi 4's where I use Arctic thermal pads on one, and ArcticSilver 5 thermal paste on another, with both the same heatsink and fan, to compare how well pads stack up to paste for the Pi.



Also I found this insane RPi cooling tower that has a full radiator with copper pipes and everything - it seems a little overkill but is only $20: https://www.seeedstudio.com/ICE-Tower-CPU-Cooling-Fan-for-Raspberry-pi-Support-Pi-4-p-4097.html

You mean this one? I have one on order that's supposed to be here Wednesday.

u/Th3G33ked · 2 pointsr/WindowsMR

Sick ideal! Do you think this will work for the Dell Visor? Just me looking at these pictures I think it will and if so I'm going to buy a Noctua NF-A4X10-FLX 5V & A USB to 3/4-Pin PWM 5V Power Adapter then use a power bank I have laying around.

u/ABC_AlwaysBeCoding · 1 pointr/RetroPie

get a case of your choice with a heatsink that fits a fan, then get this fan which is ultra-silent, and never worry about overheating issues ever again

u/dbaderf · 1 pointr/ender3

I went with the Einsy Rambo. It has TMC 2130s and uses 5V fans. Printed an adapter for the parts fan so that I could use Noctua fans. Everything is pretty much silent now, except for the fan on the power supply. I didn't know it had a fan on it before I did the mother board upgrade.

u/a8ksh4 · 1 pointr/ODroid

I got one for christmas and am trying to cool it off, too.
I got a heatsync: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZRDRX8M
And Noctula Fan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEMGCIA

But with the thermal pad, it still shoots up to ~96 degrees under full load. It must be the thermal pad because the heatsync stays totally cool with the fan running (it does warm up without the fan).

I wonder if we could put metal shims on top of the two cpu dies to lift the heatsync away from the rest of the surface mount components and then use proper thermal paste to bind them with the heatsync. I'll have to do some research into this... :) Let me know if you guys come up with any other ideas... !

u/TheHuntz · 1 pointr/ItalyInformatica

Alla fine, mi hai stuzzicato e mi sono comprato questa ventola della Noctua http://amzn.to/2tbkmd5 (la NF-A4X10 FLX)
Arrivata in settimana ed installata oggi. Ora si sentono solo i rumori gli HD e la ventola sembra non esserci :-) Bonus: l'estetica del NAS non è cambiata ed ho anche dato una bella pulita dalla polvere smontando e rimontando.

Qui un paio di link a tutorial che mi hanno aiutato: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF9wGAAWg04 e https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSXcZSvZsZY
Sono purtroppo in Tedesco e Portoghese ma si capiscono ugualmente...

Noiseblocker BlackSilentFan 40 mm or Noctua NF

Side note I just pulled these from my order history and am half asleep (5am) so check they are right spec, noctua was the quieter of the two.

u/zupobaloop · 1 pointr/originalxbox

I have only tried sewing machine oil, and it didn't help. The bearing looks pretty ratchet though, so I wasn't surprised. I pick up a more heavy duty lubricant next time I'm at a hardware store, but only for curiosity's sake.

However, I also noticed that on that Xbox, the GPU Fan header is not throttled at all. It's blasting 100% all the time. I don't know if that's normal or if it's the underlying issue.

I happened to have a 40mm fan left over from some previous project, and that sits in the heat sink just perfectly. Same problem remains though... a fan flush with the sink blasting 100% is pretty loud. So I ordered a 3-pin y splitter and ran both fans off of the CPU fan header. I set XBMC to use the auto-cooling setting, and so far it's working pretty well. The fan's aren't any louder than the HDD, so I'm happy with it.

I don't play games or anything, so the GPU really outpacing the CPU seems unlikely, but of course I'll keep an eye on it for a while.

u/Llohr · 1 pointr/RetroPie

Depends on what kind of issues you have. N64 is hit and miss as far as which games run smoothly, simply because the power isn't there. Really, it's an emulation problem, but the poor emulation can be overcome with more GPU power.

I currently overclock, using:

arm_freq=1300
over_voltage=3
sdram_freq=500
gpu_freq=500
Note that gpu_freq sets core_freq, h264_freq, isp_freq, and v3d_freq together, according to this). I'm sure I could go higher, but I've set up three of these so far using those settings, and they've all worked perfectly. Also note that I have added a fan, and not one of the worthless ones that comes with many cases. This fan, actually. After popping the pins out of the connector, getting rid of the yellow wire, and placing the red and black wires where they'll hit the pins I want, it plugs right in and works quite nicely.

I stress test them all for a few hours, and with all four cores maxed out they generally run between 64C and 68C, depending on the Pi. I'm not sure how to stress test the GPU specifically, but I haven't had any issues with artifacting.

Anyway, that has been enough to run everything I've wanted to play smoothly, but I'm sure there are many games that would still be unplayable.

u/Lewis_D25 · 1 pointr/fpgagaming
u/LaughsTwice · 1 pointr/MPSelectMiniOwners

Thank you so much!

As for the hot end, if i just wanted to replace the 30mm fan with a Noctua 40mm fan using this, and i didn't want to splice wires, which ones of these two fans should i get? This one (5V) or this one?

u/PhanMan71 · 1 pointr/Reprap

Thanks, I've got the Einsy rambo cloned from the mk3 as is most of the parts i've got, strangely this board takes 24v but requires 5v fans (linked up in my post). I'll look into the line regulator too to learn bout em

They've actually got [5v version noctua fans now] (https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Cooling-Bearing-NF-A4X10-FLX-5V/dp/B00NEMGCIA) but I decided to go for a sunon from digikey that had better air pressure

u/Verse-Chorus-Curse · 1 pointr/raspberry_pi
u/emalk4y · 1 pointr/homelab

Thanks, that's very helpful. Shame the Sunons are more expensive in Canada on Amazon/Ebay. Same price as the Noctua 40mm (unless I pay $9/each for Sunon and wait for about 1-2 months...slow boat from China via AliExpress)

I'm thinking of grabbing 3x Noctua 40mms, they're $17CAD each + prime shipping (This one). Worth the cost, you think?

Also /u/EngineerNate , if you want to chime in, feel free.

u/honestFeedback · 1 pointr/raspberry_pi

Can you tell if I need an adapter?

Also, I want to have the capacitors & the battery replaced

u/SirDerpalott · 1 pointr/CR10

That's certainly one of them!

I prefer one that uses two 40x40x10mm fans so you can get it nice and quiet so something like this:

If you do have a single blower fan laying around or on the way feel free to print that one as well! I'm sure it will work just as great just be a bit noisier.
