Am I correct in that with this upgrade the new fan will get its power from the PSU directly via the buck converter, instead of the MCU where the old one is plugged in?
@MaxLindholm_1579153 You are correct. Your new fan will tie directly into the buck converter and runs at a constant speed along with the PSU fan. The stock configuration only turns the small 4010 motherboard fan on when necessary, but when running the new fans at 5-6V, they are so silent you likely won’t notice at all.
I will edit the original post to clarify. Thanks for your feedback! (edited)
@PhantomAura_1179965 Small correction: the original motherboard fan is tied to the parts cooling fan, so 0% part cooling fan speed means 0% MCU cooling fan, and so on...At least on the regular SV06, not sure about the plus, but i would bet its the same stupid design

@Jonybat Interesting. I never noticed that it functioned this way. Thanks for clarifying.
