Works great, definitely a lot quieter than the stock fan. Big improvement in noise levels and still keeps everything cool. I might add a fan shroud or grill later just so I don’t accidentally stick my fingers into the fan.

Great fit.
+/- for the fan connector on the PSU board are wrongly labelled. Make sure to measure it out before you kill your Step-Down boards like I unfortunately did. (edited)

worked great. It's way quieter once ajusted.
I was able to fit a 70x15 fan just fine.
I used the fan cover from https://www.printables.com/model/158251-bigtreetech-skr-v14-70mm-fan-mount-mosfet

Reworked it a little to work with the LED display version of the buck converter. Great model. Fit like a glove. 15mm thick fan works well too. Thanks.

@TacticallyGrumpy could you share your modified file? I already happen to have several of that style buck converter and would like to install a silent possibly noctua fan

Bonjour, votre modèle passe sur le plateau de la sv06 ? Merci pour votre travail

@vincbofils_552647 Oui, il mesure 194 mm de long, sur le SV06 on peut imprimer 220 mm, il y a donc encore assez de place pour le skirt et la primeline.

Would a 70x70x15 fit in the PSU or is 10mm max?

@TacticallyGrumpy I do not have it open anymore, but AFAIR there was plenty of room for the fan, so I guess yes. Have added a picture, the fan is on the right side above the two huge round capacitors, the largest thing below the fan is this small black transformer, but I guess there is enough headroom. Worst case, if it doesn't fit inside, you can mount it outside anyway.

The printed case works as expected. I bought your fan too, its maybe a bit more quiet as the stock one but tbh I had the hope that this one is even a bit more quiet. Anyway, thanks for the work!

@Fabi09 You can turn down the voltage of the fan a bit with the step-down converter (this is the reason for the small hole). Since fan is larger and can "breath" more free than the original one, there should be enough headroom even when it runs a bit slower. It is important that the fan turns on reliable and still moves enough air for cooling.

Another alternative would be a much larger fan (i.e. 100 mm) that sits on the outside. Bug given the fact that the other fans on the sovol are louder than this one now, I would start with them before making the PSU more quite.
