I never liked the idea of replacing the whole site panel....

since it provides a lot of safety features, like protection against electrial shock or fire hazards and thermal conductivity.

However. To use this print, I reccomend tracing the fan outline on the metal plate, and then cutting it out with a dremel, saw or grinder. Use supports and print upside down.

The Noctua N6x25 fits perfectly but other fans schould also fit.

Wiring:

• Please check the voltage of the original fan before replacement
• Use XH-2Y Connectors or the original one for the plug
• Keep wire as short as (comfortable mountable) possible to not restrict the airflow or cause fire hazards

You need to drill two additional holes to mount the printed part on the original.

I am still working on the intake desgin for better airflow and a different look.
