The heatsink on the chip is not placed correctly. It is lying on its side, but it should be with the sticky bottom on the chip. Mikrotki has some problem with this heatsink, in my model it was floating loosely in the casing. Prześlij opinię

This is awesome, you've maybe convinced me I can grab one of these without the fan driving me crazy.. Is it truly silent (or close enough to) with the Noctua? I couldn't hear zip in the video, but the stock fan is a total no go for me
i'm currently struggling with it. this thing IS NOT EVEN NEARLY QUIET, even with a noctua fan. once it ramps its fan up, it won't ramp it down. if i physically stop the fan, cpu temp slowly creeps up, even tho it shows that it's idling in winbox. my ambient temp is like 26c
What model noctua fan, and which os? Mine is not silent, but it is definitely much quieter than original. I would have returned it if it was that loud. Mine is only (occasionally) slightly louder than my Synology ds920. It is not silent.
@@jarenhavell @jarenhavell yeah, it's much quieter than the original, that's for sure. but the original was (in my case) a son times st8038mb (.45a), so anything that is not a server grade fan is quieter, but not even close to be enough the noctua fan i used i think is the exact same as yours. again, it is quieter than the original one, but at 2k+ rpm it's already noticeable (mainly vibration), and at 5k rpm it's quite loud. not like physically painfully loud, but far above comfortable for me, as i'm used to almost dead silent equipment the os is routeros, and i even did what the reddit comment person suggested with setting fan control stuff in system/health
@@night_h4nter I'd love to get it quieter, but it requires making a custom heatsink that contacts the chips inside, with a heatpipe to a larger radiator, then you could have more fans at lower speed... But I don't have access to that kinda thing. I'm keeping an eye out for laptop heatsinks but haven't found one that would fit yet.
Might want to change the description as the fans is a 40mm. Also please add the model # of the fan. I want to purchase the fan just not the super quiet version.
I was looking for info of how noisy the stock fan is and found it here :) Since I want to install the switch close to my desk, fan mod is a must. I want to do some more modding and either install two 40mm fans or just cut a big hole on top and install quiet 120mm fan, that should blow more air even at low RPM. One thing about your particular switch - one of the radiators is installed in the wrong orientation - either a transport fault or assembly fault. Since radiators in this model use double sided heat transferring tape, this could happen. If you google for the motherboard pictures of the switch, both radiators should be installed in a standard orientation - base with the chip and fins to the top. I'm just wandering why and how yours got rotated 90deg :)
I wondered that myself! I considered putting a laptop heatsink on them to replace both heat sinks, just have not yet found a heat pipe and block that are wide enough and don't have the right tools to make my own block. Happy hacking!
@@jarenhavell I was thinking about 3D printing a top cover with a hole and mounting points for either 120x120x15mm fan inside or 120x120x25 standard fan on the top (since I won't be installing it in rack). I just don't know if there will be enough space inside. 120mm fan would push a lot more air volume while being virtually silent. It would also basically cover the whole board and SFP+ ports. If you use SFP+ -> RJ45 modules they can get really hot. This way I can always go back to original cover and fan and not lose my warranty :)
That would be interesting. I'm not sure if you can run any custom code, but the WLED controller has an API- it can change color to a pre-defined preset using a very simple POST request. Very possible!
@@jarenhavell RouterOS7 can use http POST request (/tool/fetch command) and program requests from scheduller, Netwatch, traffic monitor, dhcp server/client and many others
NF-A4x20mm Noctua PWM fan, and leds were just random stuff i had kicking around. if you look at my other videos I think there is more details, but basically just an esp8266 flashed with wled connected to standard addressable RGB led strip, all of which I got off amazon.
Yea that's pretty typical of "copper" 10g SFP. I'm using fiber optic. Runs about 80F / 26C. If you can use a fiber optic or even a DAC it will run much cooler than 10gb "copper" ethernet
@@jarenhavell I have 10gbe fiber optic incoming internet connection to home to router provided by the operator. And from the router I have only 1 x 10gbe rj45. I was thinking that I can take out SFP module from the router and install it into the MicroTik, but unfortunately it's soldered on the board.
Yep! Factory defect? It's not a very big heatsink, so it's still functional. I've considered removing both to swap for something from a laptop so I can quiet it down, but I have not found one that's compatible. That funky chip layout makes that a very custom design.
The transfer of heat into the metal is going to be mostly the same, even if it looks unusual. The bigger issue is that it doesn't look like it's covering the whole chip
It's like covering a license plate. There is nothing your average person can do with the information, it cant be used with a reverse lookup without access to a private database, but we still instinctively try to cover for anonymity. good luck hacking me!
Default sticker password is only used when you reset the device to factory settings. RouterOS will make you change the password after first login. Mikrotik changed that fairly recently, because earlier devices were not password protected at factory settings levels (but you also needed to set the password at first connect). It's just added security level, because there were people that used MT devices as standard unmanaged switches without ever logging into RouterOS, even in office or large scale onsite networks and that was just asking for trouble.
Got mine yesterday, also thinking about putting a Noctua fan inside. Also love the idea of putting RGB into a switch.

You covered the sticker on the manual so the default password won't show, but leaves the internal sticker, also with the password, out in the open.
