SATA Hat FAN (Raspberry Pi)

[cabi]

Hi,

Well its time to replace my fan as its dying. I’m looking to replace it with a noctua pwm 5v model.

What is the specific connector called? As its not your typical fan header for motherboards.

So far i’m looking to cut the fan connector and solder it onto the noctua, leaving the blue pwm out.

Thoughts…

you will find a lot of suggestion in the thread of that post

AirFlow on SATA HAT quad

I tried @eskimo’s solution and it works perfectly. Here’s my setup: [IMG_20200708_144304] [IMG_20200708_182321] [IMG_20200708_185044] [IMG_20200708_185058] [IMG_20200708_192010] Main steps: Cut the noctua extension cable and solder the wires according to the picture (based on @eskimo’s post). I used a glue gun for proper insulation and to avoid the wires breaking during assembly. Glue the fan to the board (the anti-vibration mounts are too large for the sata-hat board holes).

They are JST crimp connectors.

I bought the below kit on Amazon along with a crimping tool to swap out the connector.
