Fan for HiLook NVR-108MH-C-8P

[PeteWisdom]

Hi,

I have a HiLook NVR-108MH-C-8P, and during summer I'm finding its getting really quite hot with my WD 7200rpm Purple.
I would like to install a 40m fan to help with the heat.

I looked inside the case and notice on the motherboard there is a 2pin connector. (Please refer to picture below)

Is anyone able to confirm that I can use this 2pin to connect up a fan?

If yes, is that 2 pin connector 5v or 12v ?

I would like to connect up this fan: Noctua NF-A4x10-5V 40mm Fan, which comes with a 3-pin to 2-pin adapter.

All help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Can you borrow a digital multimeter from anyone? Give some thought to the fans current draw, too much and you could damage the psu.

Can you move it somewhere cooler or with better airflow?

Another option is to drill holes in the chassis under and to the side of the drive.

Thank you David.

I have decided to use a HDD SATA power splitter to power the 5v Noctua fan rather than connecting straight to the mainboard.

That sounds interesting!
Can we see the final result? Am maybe some feedback about this setup?

I ended up going with the 12v fan as opposed to the 5v version, and confirm all is working well.
