QUOTE(dadurtyz @ Dec 20 2020, 06:06 PM) Why would a router need a fan? It design to withstand that, my old unifi router last me 7year and force to upgrade because of speed upgrade. Dont waste ur thought by said it need that to prolong life or what so ever. some router is ran so hot that it reboot/hang randomly so far history of tplink from the oldest b/g generation to recent ac1200 all like that got one time i so mad i took off the entire plastic casing and let it run naked, put a old heatsink to it.  |

Yea, the NF-A20 PWM is awesome, super silent. I run the fan with 12V from another switching psu, coupled with the LNA adapter to reduce its speed (no PWM driver) because winter and fan running full speed on my desk is a very bad idea QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Dec 20 2020, 06:30 PM) What can be used as the feet?

Dont waste ur thought by said it need that to prolong life or what so ever. Because some router/BTU are designed with minimum tolerance. Give it a heavy workload continuously and they start underperforming, or throttled. Some just hang. Some placement also don't have any airflow, so you need to introduce some airflow to dissipate the accumulated heat. |

You connect the fan directly to your PSU? I'm planning to do the same with my router since I have one noctua fan that i do not use. If I want to use this noctua to connect to the usb port, do I need an adapter? like 4pin pwm adapter to usb? |
