Playstation 2 Quiet Fan Mod - compatible with fans from 50x10mm to 60x25mm (Noctua)

Edit from April 24th 2023

Per request, I've added holes which “ should” work with SCPH-3000x

I don't have any other model on hands than my 39000 so do it at your own risk.

I'm keeping the old ones working on 39000 for now.

Here's a mod to replace the fan of a PS2 FAT SCPH-3X000

You can use fans from 50x10mm up to 60x25mm.

The 25mm one needs to print the two parts, the “grid” is sliding in a similar way the original fan does.

Fixing the fan by using the 7/32" standard PC fan screws .

Printing:

I've tried to mange overhangs as best as I could but some might be troublesome, especially the “gutter” for sliding the AC switch/plug part. Don't go crazy on density.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU TO USE A 5V FAN since the Playstation 2 original fan is 7V (only spin at full speed with an HDD plugged).

You can make your own adapter with:

- a MICRO JST SH 2pin (1.0 mm) - a 10ohms 1W resistor (to drop voltage from 7v to 5v at full speed) - PC Fan connector, like https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09SDWD1RC you can also salvage one if you are using a Noctua. If you are using a 12v, it will spin, but only half its speed and may not be up to original one as moving air.
