I made this adapter for an aluminum cooling case for Raspberry Pi 4 that I ordered from AliExpress.

The original case uses two small 25 mm fans, but I found them too loud for everyday use. To make the setup quieter, I designed this support bracket so the case can use a Noctua NF-A4x10 5V PWM fan instead.

The goal was simple:

  • reduce fan noise

  • keep active cooling

  • use a higher quality fan with PWM control

This adapter is meant for people who already have this style of Raspberry Pi 4 aluminum case and want a quieter cooling solution.

Notes

  • Designed for Noctua NF-A4x10 5V PWM

  • Intended for a Raspberry Pi 4 aluminum cooling case

  • Original small fans were removed and replaced with a single 40 mm fan solution

  • PWM control can be used for better noise and temperature balance

Hardware used

  • Raspberry Pi 4

  • Aluminum cooling case

  • Noctua NF-A4x10 5V PWM fan

Print notes

  • Print in the orientation shown in the photos

  • PLA should work, but PETG is a better choice if the Pi runs warm for long periods

Assembly

  1. Remove the original small fans from the case

  2. Print the adapter

  3. Mount the Noctua NF-A4x10 fan to the adapter

  4. Install the adapter onto the case

  5. Connect the fan to 5V and PWM control as needed
