While Official Active Cooling kits aren't available yet, you can use these pictures as a reference for your mod.

Tauon OS 1.09 and up won't detect active cooling automatically and system performance is limited by default.
If your system has active cooling installed you will need to do the following in the Terminal:


su
settings put system cooling 1

Tauon will run fullspeed after reboot.

Fan type: 20mm x 20mm x 7mm blower fan
Mount type: double-sided silicon adhesive pad
20x20x7 blower fan

Fan type: 35mm x 35mm x 8mm blower fan
Mount type: Glue
35x35x8 blower fan

Fan type: 20mm x 20mm x 7mm fan
Mount type: 2 screws
20x20x7 fan

Any points to get cooler voltage from apart from USB? Looks like you have it direct from DC in. Maybe a sort of DC-DC reg to lower voltage would suit.

Ahoy,
Since I just bought my 2nd Tauon I am exploring a more permanent cooling solution than my laptop cooler. I have some 30mm and 40mm fans (and a 90mm big fan) left from my RPi projects. I thought I'd solder a pin header at the UART port to plug in a fan instead of hard soldering it on the board. I have some single row breakaway pin headers I can use. I've even thought of using a double pin header with bridges to the 2nd row. That way I could use a fan and hookup a UART cable (if we ever find a use for it).

If we ever get a Tauon PC-2 I'd love to see the power carried out to a 3 pin fan connector with 3.3V-Grnd-5.0V to the pins. One could choose quiet or full mode that way. An even bigger dream would add a 4th PWM pin for variable speed (I have 2 40mm 3 wire PWM fans sitting here). Of course then I'd want something like an H6 or A8 CPU and 2G to 4G RAM, and USB 3 and...

Lovin' my Tauon, DaveyB
