Argon Eon Noctua Fan adapter and Air Duct

ARGON EON DISCUSSION
1

Hey All,

I found the original fan noisy, so I was looking for a way to replace it with a Noctua Fan, I stumbled on a Reddit page where someone made a fan duct for the original fan using laser cut acrylic, he provided the lightburn file, which I modified to adapt and fit 2x 40mm noctua fan, I sent the file to a very friendly eBay seller who’s link will be left at the bottom. I connected the fan to the Gpio pins at the back of the argon eon to utilise the PWM feature but you can do it whichever way you want, if you want to make the fan screws sit flush you can counter sink the scree hole like I have. If you do use the eBay link I provided just send the seller the files I have provided. I have also left below the guide to wiring the PWM fan to work with PWM.

Enjoy :slight_smile:

Cool work! How are your HDD and rpi temps like?

Around 25-30°Cs, runs quite well and very quiet

Just an update having the fans run like → ← improve temps and make it quieter, about a 6°C drop for me on CPU from 57 → 51

Hi Spectre,

How much did you spent on all this? (noctua fans, fan duct, wiring, connectors…)
Thanks!

Think you could locate that seller for me? The link is no longer valid and I’d rather go through someone who’s already made a few of these. If I request custom elsewhere, they’ll probably ask me questions that I don’t know how to answer. Thanks!
