Looking into adding a fan to either my Lenovo 920S or my Lenovo 910S or both. These are SFF cases, so there's little room for much of anything. I've found a fan-mounting spot in each case, but the space will only accommodate a 40mm fan. I've found a good quality one:
(This question arose in conjunction with my installing of a new M.2 PCIe with a heat sink, and I reported that the only fans in the case were the one in the PSU and the one on the CPU. No case fans at all. Yet both machines run cool all the time.)
Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin (40x10mm, Brown)
Not expensive, but the question is, can anyone here who's had experience with tiny fans tell me whether a 40mm fan is going to make any difference at all?(This question arose in conjunction with my installing of a new M.2 PCIe with a heat sink, and I reported that the only fans in the case were the one in the PSU and the one on the CPU. No case fans at all. Yet both machines run cool all the time.)
