LattePanda Turbine - fan cooler mount for the panda

thingiverse

I created this design to attach a standard 80mm computer case fan to the LattePanda's side due to its overheating issue. 80mm fan coolers are extremely efficient and silent, making them ideal for quiet cooling solutions. Smaller sizes compensate with higher speed but are also louder. I'm using a "be quiet!" Pure Wings 2, available for about 10€. The first print fitted surprisingly well without any additional drilling or grinding. The cooler gets a bit louder due to air tailback from the funnel, still relatively silent compared to smaller high RPM coolers. Idle temperatures decreased from 60° with passive cooling to 42°. Unfortunately, I don't have numbers for a 20mm cooler, but its noise made it an unfeasible option. After the first print, I updated the design to optimize airflow underneath the board and simplified the mesh.
