    Hi, after a year of usage all my tiny fans are getting so loud that i need to replace them. Which one is your recommendation? Better would be to get rid of them, no matter what. Any ideas what is needed?

      Hi,
      even if you place a heat sink on it, I would recommend to try to get the warm air out the case with a new fan. The fan is a pretty standard fan you should get at any dealer for something around 2-3 USD. If you are located in Europe contact the european dealer directly he will help you. Fan size is square 30mmx30mm and the "hole diameter" is 35mm I am pretty sure, that this will work: https://www.amazon.de/MakerHawk-Bürstenlose-Trennschnittstelle-kompatibel-Raspberry/dp/B071JN6HKM/ (sorry german only).

      thanks
