      Excellent. I did this a long time ago, same as you. 12v fan (from an old Mac power supply) connected to 5v and ground pin, mounted on a simple heat sink, and it’s virtually silent. My results were astonishing. Before, about 65C. After, and still, about 40C.

      Can you tell my what your before and after results are? I’m just curious.

        @mykle1 Pretty much the same as yours. Before was around 62-65°C and now I am around 41-42°C under pretty much the same conditions. And for the noise: You can barely hear the fan if you put your ear right next to it. I am pretty pleased with the result, especially for the price.
