2nd fan shim from Pimoroni, just as easy to set up as before. Will buy again if I ever get another Raspberry Pi.

With this cute fan the Raspberry pi can go on for hours without gaining any heat.

It arrived speedily the instructions for use and fitting were excellent apart from two minor issues. The reset button is hidden by their own case and difficult to spot, so the instructions could be a bit more specific about where it is, and github for the library now requires proper authentication and an account (again a note stating this would be helpful). The program works perfectly and so does the fan.

Ahoy Andrew - thanks for the review! The fan shim repo is public so it shouldn't need you to be logged in to Github to clone it - please can you let us know what command you were running and the error you got so we can try and replicate it?

It stopped working after a week, but good replacement work. Had it replaced within days.

Simple to attach to RPi, elegant solution. However, the plastic arms holding the fan motor to its frame are very flimsy - hence buying a second one!
