GMKTec G9 fan case

his modification is to install two 8010 fans in the side covers to replace the original fans. Based on the original design, modified the covers. 

Update 15.08.2025:

• Added an updated version for the 8025 fan.
• The processor-side fan has been repositioned closer to the USB ports.
• Increased the number of ventilation holes.
• Enlarged the cover dimensions to match the aluminum case profile.
• Slightly increased the thickness of the fan mounting walls.

Update 15.08.2025:

• The 8025 fan version failed the test and was removed until it is fixed.

Update 05.07.2025:

• added a version for using a dust filter
• Increased ventilation holes for the bottom cover and added space for the feet
• added a version for the 8025 fan (needs testing), mounting with standard fan screws.
• other minor improvements

To mount the fan you will need:

• Fan 8010 (I used ID-COOLING NO-8010-PWM) - 2 pcs.
• Mini-JST SH 1.0 mm female connector, wire connector SH1.0 4 pins minimum 100 mm (female) - 2 pcs.
• Flat head screws M2,5x12 - 8 pcs.

• Threaded brass bushings M2.5x4x3.5 - 8 pcs.

For the rest of the standard fasteners (Mounting the ssd, attaching the covers to the case):

• Threaded brass bushings M2x3x3 - 10 pcs.

All other fasteners are used from the hull. 
I use 12v PWM fan, for this purpose in bios I customize maximum speed for them and disable smart mode. Also the standard pinout of the fan is different from the pinout of the sh1.0 connector.
Pinout taken from user @sleeeeeepy_3195269

• GND (No: 1, Triangle)
• PWM
• RPM
• 5V

Check it with yourself before using it.

When reassembling make sure the power button works, the design is such that it can get pinched, I had to hold the board down when reassembling. 

Optionally, it is possible to install heatsinks on the ssd, taking into account thermal padding up to 8 mm. I use 70*22*6 heatsinks. 

If you want, you can print out a cradle for closing usb (I don't use them) or you can make a modification for usb connection based on it.

To use a dust filter:

I used a dust filter like this:

It is installed in front of the 8010 fan and is pressed down using a puck tpu. It is not necessary to use tpu, but it is necessary because the impeller of the 8010 fan protrudes slightly from the case.

Be careful when screwing the fan in, as the posts have a small diameter and can easily break off.
