CPU fan for Sam440ep-flex?
Just popping in

Can anyone suggest a good small, quiet fan for the CPU on the Sam440ep-flex? I have the 800 MHz model and the CPU usually runs about 44 - 45 C... if I point a fan at the (rather small) heatsink, that drops pretty much immediatly to 28C, which is only 2C more than the case temp.

I haven't been able to find any little fans locally, and it's hard to shop for a fan like that online since you can't hear the darned things. So if anyone knows where to get one that works well, please let me know!

44-45?C is not very high. Did you measure this temp at full load or idle ? You should not worry about heat with Sams, they are made for this

I took one out of an old PC box I had lying in my basement but you can find a nice quiet one at any small electronic shop near my place ...a good one is at www.sayal.com ..i think they have US stores as well

There's no need for a fan.

Use the most silent one you can find, but preferably bigger one. Small ones are rarely silent, IMO.

I have a silent 80mmx80mm cooler blowing air over SAM440ep board and it makes the components a lot more cooler than without it.

The sam does not require a fan for cooling. My sam440ep does not have one ive been running it for months.
