Right, so less voltage, less speed. Couldn't I "shove" a potentiometer in between and give it around 7,5V or whatever gives the best noise to temp results?
Thanks, I thought of that too, and I'll go with that if this doesn't work. I just didn't want this little Wraith lying around unused and the size fits so well on the Pi 😄
Nice! I was just going to ask if I should add in a potentiometer to regulate the fan speed. But you say it should be a transistor? I'm a complete noob at hardware, so please excuse any inaccurate lingo. 😅
I see. Thanks for the heads up! How much RAM do you have on that Pi 4? On my gaming rig torrenting alone can occasionally eat up 2Gb of RAM, but I haven't limited anything there (if anything, I've increased various limits following the git readme of qBittorrent).
Thanks! Nah, I use bare bone sshfs to stream media (call me a lunatic) to a separate media player turned Lenovo T480 (which plays 4K just fine with a little indiscernible fan noise).
5V seems to the consensus, so I'll go in that direction. But I do want to keep the chassi on, so I think I'll go with a 5V USB.
