Noctua NF-A4x20 5V PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin, 5V Version (40x20mm, Brown)

This fan is quite and keeps the Nano from throttling back during extensive AI/DL, however the cable is way too long for a NVIDIA Nano and had to be bunched up between the Nano heat sink and the top of the SBC case.

Installed this fan on to a nVidia Jetson Nano and fit perfectly. I did get a case for the Jetson Nano that provided the appropriate screws that properly mounted the fan with though. This fan kit doesnt come with those as the parts that come with the fan are more used for mounting to a something like a computer case.

This is one of the loudest fans Ive ever heard. This is the kind of fan you would use in a server room where you dont care about noise. On the plus side, it does blow a substantial amount of air for a little fan.

Installed easily with screws I had laying around. Turns on when its needed and off when its not. The only complaint is the rubber corners on the top of the fan eventually rubbed off and one day one of them jammed the fan blade up and almost overheated my nano. But I took the rest off and its fine now.

Quieter then the Noctua 40x10mm fans and better air flow

I’m using this to cool my Jetson Nano. It works great and it’s so quiet I have to look at it to see if it’s running.

I should have click the buy button on the two(2) fans package from a different maker for roughly the same price. You are paying more marketing , and silly fold out displays, tons of fancy packaging, it come packed in alot of plastic which could be cardboard, three sets of oddball extra cables just throw 50% of the package contents in the trash. I am using this on a jetson nano and it sounds a performs the same as the stock one. I used thin guage wire to attach the fan and just twisted it to sung it down. All the connectectors that cam with it i just tossed the the trash.

Looked up the wiring diagram on Noctua to make sure I had it right, looked up an easy little PWM can script, and fired right up. Only had to plug it into 5V, Ground, and the PWM pin set in the script. Works awesome, and its the same price as the non-PWM fan. Its almost silent if youre right by it. If your more than a few feet away you wont hear it on high.

Very high quality fan. I needed to cool down a bit a bucket converter(step down from 36V to 12V), and this fan keep the converter very nice and cool. Too much heat is not good for you baby, that how the song says?

Im using this to cool a Raspberry Pi running a 3d printing server. It would overheat causing the printer to stutter - but no longer. This fan is impressively small delivering impressive airflow and virtually silent. Im very satisfied.
