- VANKYO Performance V600 is an amazing budget projector, BUT after a couple of weeks of usage I found a lot of dust in it, so I wanted to make some fan filter mod. However, after watching some video about other projectors noise level, I think this projector is a little bit noisy. So I wanted to make it somehow more quiet as well.

The changes what i made:
- change the outtake fan to a "Noctua NF-A9 PWM"
- change the thermalpaste between the LED and the heatsink (forgot to take a video about this)
- some cable management
- add an DC-DC converter to the intake fan (blower style fan)(set to 8.5V)
- make a cut out on the side and fit the fan filter
I'm not a GENIUS but because the fan on the heatsink is still running on the max voltage the LED shouldn't overheat and the blower fan can still move enough air to cool down the screen and power supply. IF you like to make this mod make sure the blower fan is running enoughly fast to cool down the screen to avoid burn marks on the protective glass or on the screen.

thanks for the video! I was looking into buying one of those, but even 50 dB is crazy loud IMHO. so thanks for helping make a decision.
I'm happy I helped you with my video :)
I definitely need to add a filter to mine. Love the image quality the V600 gives me but the internal gets dusty real quick
Wow nice work ❤️
I will try to change both fans and add pwm controll
M18 has bad noise
Hey man, this is a really great video, thanks so much!
I was just curious, did you step down the blower fan Voltage from (I assume) 12V to 8.5V just as an additional way to reduce sound?
If this is the case, is the blower fan really loud by itself?
I was wondering if it might also work to retain the preset voltage on the blower fan but maybe 3D print a casing around that place to allow air to flow straight from the back of the projector, I imagine that will still do a good job of reducing the sound, but there will be that higher airflow.
Curious if you have any opinions about this approach?
Hello
Yes mostly just for the sound beacuse yes the blower fan is VERY loud.
Your 3D print idea could help a little bit because most of the noise generated by the channeles inside the case and ect. but I think even if it's have a better case(like v630) it will be still loud just maybe generate a different humm.
Thanks for the positive feedback I really appreciate it.
Hello, thanks to the video it is very informative. As other people on the comments, I am planning to do same thing on my different projector which is Wimius K1. I am just going to change outflow fan with Noctua fan. I have two question actually.
I am going to use 3pin to 2pin adapter instead cutting 3pin cables, do you think it is okay?
Secondly, what do you think about put some grease on inflow fan bearing. Would it reduce some noise?
Thanks!
The 3 pin to 2 pin adapter is good, just make sure its haveing the correct pinout. I don't think some grease would reduce the fan noise. The noise is mainly coming from how the air channels are made in the projector frame and of course from the blower fan.
Thanks for this video! Awesome. I was hoping you could clarify some things for me:
The outtake fan is 92mm?
There is a 2nd intake/blower fan? Two fans total inside the projector?
What mod did you do to the 2nd intake blower fan? Was the DC-DC converter slowing the blower fan down?
Thank you!
Hi
Yes the outtake fan on the heatsink is 92mm
The 2nd intake yes is a blower fan 93mmx93mmx30mm
yes I slow down the blower fan.
by the way the original fans are:
the original intake fan is: songlian SDM9330B
www.sz-songlian.com/index.php/wareshow/sldzgs/1/en/375312,53143/53143.html
the original outtake fan is: songlian SDM9025S
www.sz-songlian.com/index.php/wareshow/sldzgs/1/en/375323,53143/53143.html
after this you can calulate the rest what you want. airflow ect ect....
Have fun :)
Great video!
I am having trouble disassembling mine. I have taken the all of the screws out but still feels very secured near the ports. Any tips for getting the case off without breaking it?
You need to "move over the ports" but yeah i can agree on that area is very hard to get it out try to push the case back(same directions where the ports pointing) and lift it up like that.
Careful with this part, mine was stuck on the Audio Jack and it busted that one, but no worries as I can just solder a new one on.
Thanks for the Video,
Currently i have a Excelvan CL720 Projector, and i did nearly the same modifications like you.
Outtakefan Noctua NF9 + DC-DC Converter with Potentiometer to control the fan-speed from outside.
For my Projector there were also a video to change the blower fan to an axial fan, with modification of the airflow (cone funnel), but this damagen my frenel lens or lcd panel (small black spot on one corner). I was also looking for an replacement for the axial fan, but without results. But during my optimization i recognized that the most noise came from the airflow, and not from the fan itself. My setting is also at 8.5V in the winter sometimes lower.
Now it is functional and stable since 1 year, but the resolution 720p is not optimal to watch pictures from our Smartphones.
Thats why i think about to change my projector to an Vankyo V630, because its a cheap Fullhd projector with the possibility to reduce the noise.
Does anybody have problems after the modification?
I use it often for long gaming nights and movie afternoons, no issue at all but I live in the UK, the average temperature is very low. But I made a temperature test video and I think its still cool enough after the mod so it should survive warmer summer days.
Is it possible to remove the blower fan and replace it with a regular fan? I suppose in order to do this you would need to cut a hole in the side of the projector so the airflow is in the same direction. I’m not sure if a regular fan would produce enough airflow to keep everything cool. If it did, then that may be a great way to remove a significant amount of noice.
It is possible. But a regular fan cannot provide that much airflow to go through all the components and provide enough cooling. Especially for the display. You can give it a try but more likely you gonna end up a burnt display. You can try anouther blower fan but this size is so odd is very hard to find any other more silent replacement.
Hi. I have the v630 model. I think it uses the same fans, I too have ordered a Noctua and a dc-dc convertor, thanks to your vid. Did you try going less than 8.5v? It's a shame no one makes blower fans with a better bearing, or at least something that isn't so loud, as I too cannot find a better replacement. I a'm doing to job tomorrow, will keep you informed. Thanks again for vid.
Thank you for the kind words 😊. I glued the pot meter on the dc-dc converter so I can't really change it. But I'm already happy how it is. I have a test video about it and I think thats a nice balance between noise and temperature. I not recorded that part but I changed the thermal paste between the led and the heatsink. Don't forget to do that cause I think it can help to get some extra degrees lower. Have fun 😉
@@L0L0K3 Yes, I build pcs so I think that's a good idea too. I'll test out lower voltage, I may get the dreaded burn but I'll the up the voltage.
Thanks for your video! Is it possible to make a completely silent cooling system, maybe by setting up a giant heatsink? Did someone ever try to do that? Thanks.
I think it's possible but not for long term beacuse of the light source emitting high temperature to the display so minimal airflow is required
How about making a silencing box combining space and several different layers of a special noise-absorbing material? I saw a couple of videos here but sadly those aren't too practical.
Looks really clean, but I just worry about temps and how long it might last. If its got a nice amount of air being exhausted then, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
Btw I see that xperia tablet, such nice tablets when they used to make them :)
Thanks :) I might try to get some temperature meter soon just in case. I'm using the projector daily just to check if its okay but I not had any issues yet. Yea i love my old xperia tablet its doing his job amazing. :P
Hey, I'm planning to do the same mod with the same projector. I saw there is a second fan you didn't change in this video, any idea if it's smart to change that one too or any specs on the second fan? Maybe it's also a source of annoying noise? ;)
Also, why did you add the DC-DC 8.5 V, what does it do?
The second fan is a blower fan:
www.sz-songlian.com/index.php/wareshow/sldzgs/1/en/375312,53143/53143.html
it's hard to find a more silent but same spec Fan, the DC-DC 8,5V it's just make the second fan more silent but still keeps the projector cool enough. but that's can be different, so adjust the voltage for your own need.
@@L0L0K3 Ah yes, I also just realized you added that second opening next to the second fan for better airflow. I skipped that part :D:D
I guess the primary fan connection is two pin, that's why you cut the cable of the new fan?
BTW, thanks for making this video!! Really I'm amazed as it's exactly what I was looking for!
Incredible my friend, I have the same projector model (branded AUN M18, but it's same stuff) and I replaced the original fan with the exact same model of noctua fan you used! I did this hack during the days of lockdown here in Italy, about 10 months ago and the projector still works great! Just I didn't touched the inlet blower because I wanted to avoid the possibility of overheating the lamp, limiting the blower speed as you did (if I understood well). Would like to find a quieter inlet blower as replacement, but it seems to not exist with the technical features of the original one. Anyway just installing the noctua is a great improvement in my opinion. It's really funny to see that in another part of the world a random guy like me did pretty much the same hack I did. Where are you from dear fellow?
I'm from Hungary Livin in the UK :) I'm happy for you :)
Just do what i did , wear a pair of Vankyo noise cancelling headphones (or similar) , greatly reduces fan noise, you can still hear movie sound and best of all, your warranty remains intact. 😎👍
nice video man
I also have this idea of modding my v630, i started by installing a PWM module on the intake fan and its okay
but what do you think about replacing this blower fan by a normal and much quieter fan? ( like the noctua for example)
Thanks for the nice words, It is possible to change the blower fan but very risky, 'cause the screen can be overheat if not enough airpressure is going though of it. You can try, but I wouldn't recommend it.
@@L0L0K3 okay I understand that some air should circulate through the projector in order for heat to dissipate and for dust not to stack on lenses and LCD screen
But as we already decreased the air flow while decreasing fan speed, maybe we could simply change the fan by a much quieter one.. idk
Also do you understand the difference between air flow and air pressure? I thought both are binded but maybe not..
Another message to tell you that i shorted the fan port from the motherboard and some smoke went out
Surprisingly the port still work and i can still power the fan but there is a problem as the port supply power even if the projector is off.
Fortunately my pwm can control and turn off the fan from outside the proj. I just need to do it manually now.
@@juliensimon2000 sure you can change the fan but its hard to find a similar blower fan what is quieter simply because how the blower fans work. You can try to change it to a normal (axial fan) but those have less air pressure what is important to have enough pressure to move all the air through the components (display, power supply and the heatsink)
And yes air pressure and air flow are totally different stuff. Air pressure is sort of how strongly it can move air. Air flow is mean how much air it can be moved. I hope this make it clear 😉
@@juliensimon2000 i'm sorry to hear that
Hi, I did this same way like you. Just used different fan. I used Be quiet pure wings 2. Noise changed about 5-8db lower. Imo its not worth to do it. IT took me 2 hours and its causing lost warranty. The main noise its coming from blower fan, but I cant find any good model to replace it. Changing voltage to 8.5v doesnt give significant results. If someone want to do it, be aware that all the glasses and mirror inside must to be placed exactly in the same position it was originaly. You can get ghosting or circle shadow on the screen. All this means you didnt put glass or mirror in correct side. I learned it the hard way, got pain in the fingers from screws LOL. Friend, if you find a good blower fan we can use it please leave a message. Regards :)
Yeah 😉 sure but probably even if we manage to find any similar size blower fan it would be same loud. But if I have some free time I'm gonna dig in to it.
What should be minimum rpms one needs to consider while purchasing new fan
RPM is not important what is important is the airflow for the fan next to the power supply
and for the blower fan next to the lens and the mirror is the static pressure.
The stock fan next to the Power Supply is SDM9025S: www.sz-songlian.com/index.php/wareshow/sldzgs/1/en/375323,53143/53143.html
And the stock blower fan next to the Lens and the mirror is SDM9330S:
www.sz-songlian.com/index.php/wareshow/sldzgs/1/en/375312,53143/53143.html
How is the projector today? Did the fan manage to keep it sufficiently cool even with less voltage? I have the V630 and think that it has the same design of the fans, so I would build it again :)
It's still running with no issues. I recently gave it to my Brother so he can play some Xbox with a bigger screen.
Seemed like, when you took the inner black cover off, you could of just took out the fan. Why did you take out all the mirrors etc ?
to avoid fingerprints
Awesome Video, thank you for posting it. Wish I had seen it a little sooner, but its all good.
My V600 recently died. No LED light on the Power button, no items power on when plugged in and button is pressed.
Took it apart, Cleaned it (wasn't that bad) and reviewed the PSU. from what I could tell, it might not be giving power to the rest of the unit.
Does anyone know where I could get a new board? Also, does anyone know if there's any parts of it that would force it to not start if X isn't powered on, similar to the LEDs of a TV?
I have a same issue, have you managed to find a solution?
@@vinothkumarraju707 No I suspected the Power board. I didn't have time to troubleshoot the board. but if you are technical with electronics, you could troubleshoot. I ended up reaching out to them and got a small refunded for it, that I used to pick up a new projector.
Yea I would definitely check the temperature to see if it's worth it. You might be cutting the LED life short if it's heating up more than usual and your image might be getting dimmer as time goes by. In my opinion, it's not that bad if you have the projector far away from the viewing area and personally I have it right next to my head and I don't really mind because sound/music drowns out the fan noise.
I ordered a thermometer and I planned to make a video about it,but I don't really know how hot it was without the mod, so it will be hard to compare, but I hope the numbers will be good. I may forgot to mention but I changed the thermalpaste between the led and the heatsink so that can improve on it a little bit as well.
As I promised the temperature check video :) I'm very happy with it. Compared to stock from other people video it's still very cool.

hi
i have v630 vankyo and iam thinking to change lcd fullhd panel to 4 k lcd panel .
is it possible ?
Yes it's possible But you might need a new pcb to drive it because I don't know if the stock one is support it.
@@L0L0K3 it would be cool if you can make a video changing a panel to 4k
@@Silverdollar-zi8ym Its more than just the panel. To show 4k all components between the source and the panel need to be able to handle 4k so the main board would need to be re-engineered.
Check if the LED are not being overdrived too. A lot of these chinese projectors uses 120W unjusted drivers to power 100, 80 or sometimes even 50W LEDs. Sometimes you need to change the precision trimpot to be able to set the right current
hello everyone.
I have the AUN m18 projector, which is the same projector with different branding.
Have you been able to check the PSU and the watts it throws to the LED?
I have opened the projector, but I don't see any trimpot to adjust.
Good video, I hope you can upload a video modifying the PSU, with that you could adjust the temperature even more.
Nice advice I'm very busy lately but if I have some free time I'm gonna play with it
@@chanecillo786 mine just Died, and it might be the PSU, was going to post as well about it.
Hello :)
at first I want to excuse for my bad english. I also want to change the fan. I already bought the same fan. I want to ask you, where I can buy the filter..
Greetings from germany
It doesn't matter, just select anything that is 92mm x 92mm and it's easy to install.
Es spielt keine Rolle, wählen Sie einfach alles aus, was 92 mm x 92 mm groß ist, und Sie können es leicht installieren.

Question: if I live somewhere cold...in your opinion could I get away with just snipping that fans cables? I would run it in a spacious cool area.
I know this will shorten lifespan, but the noise is just too bad
LOL, it will be short lived quietness, it will overheat quickly and damage LCD and next on the way will bi LED.
Hi again, I'm just taking the time to do this right now :) I have a small issue tho, maybe you know this by the top of your head, Google wasn't really helpful.
I'm looking really closely and saw that from the four cables in the new fan you have a Red, Yellow, Blue and GREEN cable, mine has Red, Yellow, Blue and BLACK
Looks like you are completely cutting Blue and Green and connecting Yellow and Black ?
Naturally, I'd just go for the RED and Black wire of my fan and wire them up with the red and black from the pin of the old fan.
But you are going for the YELLOW (to red) and black Cable - Should I also go for my yellow instead of the Red? I'm trying to look this up with color coding on wires but it's just more confusing.
Maybe you have a quick tip on this, otherwise I'll keep on googling :D
Cheers
I hope this answer your question:
allpinouts.org/pinouts/connectors/motherboards/motherboard-cpu-4-pin-fan/
The 12V and the ground are usually next to each other.
@@L0L0K3 Perfect!! Thanks ;)
I really wish your disassembly included more detail on how to take the cover off... it is NOT popping off as easily as you're showing it... the rear ports assembly are stuck fast!
I know what you mean. First make sure you don't miss the last screw he points to because I didn't even know it was there. After that.....it takes some strong pulling to get it off. I'm guessing since he's already done this... His comes off much easier
LOLOK3 hi . please DC-DC blower fan (8.5V) is obligate ? i possible juste fan change ?
It's not obligate, especially if you change the fan, as long as you happy with the noise level.
Very interesting, but, a lot of trouble for most people. Put the projector on the ceiling a few feet or MORE behind you the further away the less noticeable the noise. The real problem with these projectors in the long run is not so much the noise-which will always be there, but DUST. They are not sealed so over time dust will invade the unit. The filter is OK but could BE A LOT BETTER. Perhaps a dual filter-now that would be an easier and important mod. Dust? It's EVERYWHERE. Why do you think they have CLEAN rooms in CPU manufacturing facilities? I wonder if running an ionizer in the projector room would help this?
It makes no sense that a manufacture of such pricey gadgets won't use quiet fans. I'm almost certain that they know they exist. I have a laser projector with four fans: two 95MM fans, one 105MM fan and another that's directly under the laser which looks to be a 60MM fan. Although I am not certain yet. I tried building a hush box but that didn't help. It simply trapped the heat. The noise was still there. I will mod mine as soon as I get those fans in on order. By the way, you can use a 4pin to 2pin adapter for the fans which keeps you from having to cut and solder.
Did you mod it? I wa thinking the ame thing but you need to get same spec fans or you can kill your projector. If you do get the same spec I wonder if theyll really be quieter
