MEGAWATT Cooling Fan Questions
It's cooling fan modification time. The louvered cutout on the aluminum case has 4 spot-welds in the hub. Any idea why? I am planning on full-circle cut-out the holes on both Megawatts, then use...

Perhaps the spot welds are not that, and just marks from the stamping machine that punched out the holes for the fan's flow.
These fans do poorly with a restriction behind the impeller. I know room is tight but they will move a lot more air if you place them on the outside of the casing with no restriction behind.
Did you get 60mm ball bearing fans to replace the junky sleeve bearing fan provided?
The hole needed for least restriction, is not round.
From my Cheapowatt, may its rest in smoky fried pieces.
That 60mm Noctua fan is now on my Meanwell's Lid blowing inward, along with a 80MM fan sucking air outward, and the stock 40MM fan Meanwell provided.
Glad you did not want my heatsinks, as I am using them for a lighting project with halogen bulbs, but I woulda liked to meet you in person.
