I did see one YouTube video that showed use of the fan, it was whiny and much too noisy for my purposes, so if in fact it were needed I would search for a better quality quieter fan than the one they include.

In the U.S. Amazon has this case for $25, though they seem to be out of stock on the case alone, but they do have a bundle including a SMPS available for $35.

From some reading around.....the bundle including their SMPS may be needed if the fan is to be used (or the Pi as desktop)..there are reports of the low power lightning bolt when used with the standard Pi4B smps as the fan draw and the Pi both power from the same smps.

I'm not expecting to use the fan for MoOde use so thanks for the detail and temps you're getting. Smile

I saw that Youtube video too .. in the comments it was noted that the demo was at full speed and it was much quieter when configured through the script...

Quote:Upon installation of the Argon ONE script by default, the settings of the Argon ONE cooling system are as follows:
-when the CPU temperature is at 55 C, the fan will run at 10% of its maximum speed
-when the CPU temperature is at 60 C, the fan will run at 55% of its maximum speed
-when the CPU temperature is at 65 C, the fan will run at 100% of its maximum speed

You may also configure the fan to suit changing the temps and percentage..


Code:
argonone-config
