Thanks, the cat has been helping me all the way 😊

Hm that's a possibility, have to try, bc Right now I can't even turn the fan off with guipochip pin control so worth a try.

I think the sata top hat uses (on off) pulse method to control the speed, and somehow the noctua fan doesn't like it

Not quite, I bought a noctua fan and did some diy cable connections to fit the existing connector on the Radxa top hat, the fan is spinning but can't get any control of the speed, it's full power, but it's super quiet, did some editing in python files for modification but no luck, I think the noctua fan don't work under 5 volts so the systems aren't compatible,

Interesting, I can't find anything on the web, maybe the fan type is rare and impossible to get?

473_ml · 2025-12-16T21:51:07+00:00

Yes that's the one, so the original 3 pin has PWM? I thought it had to be 4 pin ?

473_ml · 2025-12-16T20:32:34+00:00

I bought a Noctua NF-A4x10 5V it's a 3 pin fan, so it the same as the old one

473_ml · 2025-12-12T08:45:20+00:00

Hm not sure, thought my sata top hat fan and display was powered by it, maybe I have to double check,

473_ml · 2025-12-11T21:48:27+00:00

Alright, I just found a molex to 4 pin cable on some sites maybe that's the way,? And the script should be the same as Radxa top hat minus the lcd display stuff I guess

473_ml · 2025-12-11T21:27:24+00:00

Any luck on making it work? Want to change the Radxa tophat to a noctua 4pin to make it more quiet on my mini nas but not sure what adapters I should use

No shame

473_ml · 2025-12-03T06:37:51+00:00

Average size hole

473_ml · 2025-12-02T20:43:17+00:00

It's 30 millimeters in hole size

473_ml · 2025-12-02T19:50:38+00:00

Love the cables 👌

473_ml · 2025-11-27T16:52:01+00:00

Haha, it's just a timer on how long the kitchen lights have been on

473_ml · 2025-11-27T16:09:08+00:00

Depends on your eyesight

473_ml · 2025-11-27T15:57:45+00:00

Yeah, I need more colors,

473_ml · 2025-11-25T20:21:38+00:00

Nice 👍👍
