wow. is is possible to show or roughly explain the whole process from design to finish? Like what software to design and CAD etc etc. How you designed the PCB, which are the correct manufacturing contractors to find , etc etc

how you ensure a centered sticker on the fan ;) .. nice work btw.

Nice.. I saw one, however I'm thinking about x3 to have a chance to cool down VRM heatsink and RAM slots also, or to use x3 with Asus/Gigabyte M.2 Hyper storage (without their case cover and a noisy fan)

This goes far beyond my need but i could see this being used in more industrial use cases such as nvme cards which dont really come with cooling and/or network cards

buying one for my lsi hba card in my server!

Initially I though this is for people that is running out of fan header on their mother board, but I guess adding a fan into your pcie slot might have some use as well.

I'd order 3, if they were squirl cage. Only place this would help me is in my server with my sas cards, but will how close they are together, there wouldn't be anywhere really for the air to go.

Hey, just a little bit of an engineer here as well. And this is really cool demo for assembling, I like it! Currently also working on embedded project (which is something rather new to me) and your video is quite interesting to see regarding pipeline :)

What is the use case? It goes into a PCIe slot, but why would i want to do this?

Use cheap knife sharpener

Brilliant! I have an idea: make the same thing, but without a PCI interface. That way, you can use free slots in the PC case and the fan could be connected conventionally via the motherboard.

next level!!

cool idea. then i saw the price. JEsus

I don't think pci-e works in this device, power supply may be.

0:32 use a deburring tool or a dremmel.

whats the point of this

Do you sell a pcie x1 card with only the controller and the fan header and no fan holder, so I can get a extra fan header with speed control? Preferably with the button poking out the bracket (with option for low rise bracket)

Would definitely be more useful if it were indeed a "fan controller" and not just a "fan with a controller"

I would love to see a dual fan and triple fan version of this PCIE card for graphics cards, m.2 expansion cards and compute cards like Nvidia Tesla.

Any plans on adding a connector for a NTC Thermistor for temperature dependent speed and connecting the microcontroller via I2C to SMBUS and have it show up as a lm-sensors compatible fan/temperature sensor? And maybe a multi-fan version with some 4-Pin connectors all individually controllable via SMBUS?

what part number is the pwm fan header?

You missed the part where you outsourced someone in China to pop, program, assemble, package and ship. 😂

First video on the channel, it was amazing! Loved to watch this and hope to see more like this in the future, you got yourself another subscriber 😋 Could you show more how you made the pogopins be straight and exact position them? Did you use 3D printing for this or any other solution? I've been looking for how to make pogopins straight and reliable, just like yours looked to be. Sorry that it isn't about the PCIe fan controller, I just think that is simple and so much self explanatory, and you showed everything for my needs 😋 I think the fan controller is amazing, no doubt about it! ❤

should make a tri-fan one so you could have up to 6 fans under a GPU depending on what case you use

you are using pcie. with fan control you should add pwm controller also make them able to daisy chain

could you do a PCIe fan card with 2 fans???

Use sandpaper 0:32

China line assembly in his home. Amazing.

Thats so nice how your manufacturing jigs are set up

This video was so to my liking that I went to check what other videos you've made. Then I realized you have exactly one video. might as well subscribe.

65$ for a fan with tiny unreachable button to change speed. What a joke. If it has a uc with pcie communication so that you can controll it via software, ok. But this shit?

a small suggestion use good looking button

Excellent video, these are awesome, and great for cooling GPUs

Nice,thanks :)

$65 for a single slim 120mm; yea, nah

Darn, this is cool I must say! Well done!

What's the purpose?

did the algorithm's for TH-cam got better? finally some useful videos on my Recommended Page

Like... Why? There is not a single 5-12V source somewhere near e.g. Molex/SATA? Or 3/4 pin header on motherboard? Its looking good, no doubt, but why?

65 bucks... lol jebus

Now all you need is 120mm or 140mm fan version.

Instead of the Scraper maybe you could use a large Deburring Tool so it "deburrs" both sides at the same time and shoudl also get the little nib left behind by the break-off

That is absolutely superb and a much better solution than I used which was some generic slot brackets, a laser cut 3mm wood plate to hold the fan and a 3D printed mount that goes over the PCIe slot to hold everything steady. :-)

Can someone please explain what this is supposed to do? What function were you trying to solve.

Excellent work, good craftsmanship, and It’s cool to see a modern take on a PCI fan. I remember way back when brands like Antec, Arctic, and Phobya had similar products to cool down monsters like the GTX480 and Radeon 6970. Excellent execution sir, keep up the great work.

This is super cool! I love the small details. Awesome!!

Isn’t this just going to blow the already hot air inside the case around ?

The next version maybe you could add wifi to control the speed via wifi or bluetooth

i need one for my overheating card

Hmm have you thought about putting like 6-10 fan headers on here. Like an open-source replacement for iCue?
