i wasn’t 100% happy with the noise to cooling performance ratio of the devkit’s stock solution, so i decided to give it the beige fan treatment > i’m quite happy with the results, it’s very easy to install too (you just need 2x8cm fans of your choice, a thin long screwdriver capable of going through the top screw holes, and then just attach it with regular fan screws, they go inbetween the fins and stay there quite firmly) so in case somebody feels like doing something similar but isn’t too sure about it, go for it i used an y-extension to connect both fans to fan1 connector ---
