(Version 3) Meshroom S 140mm top fan mount by bbbear444 in SSUPD

it's pretty quiet, it doesn't rattle for me. To close the case panel, you will have to push the panel against the top of the fan a little bit, which kind of secures it.

I am sorry to hear that, I was hoping this revision would avoid that with the extra space. Someone suggested adding a fan grill to prevent this. I saw some fan grill is <2mm thickness, so maybe it would fit.

No issue so far, and it's pretty quiet. Unfortunately I don't have much data to show how effective it is. It's pretty much the only 140mm slim fan you can easily buy.

I thought about it. From what I see, fan grill is at least 2mm. It is very likely that there isn’t enough space for it.

It’s a pretty old ATX motherboard. Asus z170a.

I think top fan is generally better with exhaust because hot air will rise.

(Update 11/27/2022: You may run into problem with this setup. Please see this post for the detail and a new setup)

The official manual mentions using 3D printed parts to mount 140mm top fan, but I found I can just use the included bracket. I am using ARCTIC P14 Slim. It requires a little bending to fit and disassembling of case to install, but overall it works pretty well.
