A simple little add on, easy to fit in and configure.

Very efficient fan which combined with the heatsink does the job really well. Noisy-ish considering the size. Once the Fan Control Pin is enabled on the Pi, it barely turns on, so not really a problem.

Good Fan & is straight forward to get it working in Home Assistant OS running on the Pi

Fits nicely inside the official case, but since the case has no vents at all it's hard to see how it's going to cool the board properly.

A little noisy, but once fan control is enable it only kicks in at temps above 80c, which keeps the Pi from throttling. Fits very neatly into the Pi case.

Works well, (if a bit loud). You may want to enable the fan overlay (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-5.15.y/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/gpio-fan-overlay.dts) by adding something like the below to your config.txt (note the pin on the fan's instructions is different to the default in the overlay): dtoverlay=gpio-fan,gpiopin=14,temp=60000 It also made closing and opening the case incredibly difficult - in case that's a concern for you.

It's quite high-pitched since it's so tiny but with the fan control on, it only kicks in very rarely on high loads.

This is a 3 wire fan in that the speed it runs at can be varied. It comes with a plastic shield to mount it inside the official PI case. (And it comes with a heat sink that fits the CPU)
