My Supermicro P5-XTRA has a pair of transistors clamped to a black aluminium heatsink near to the CPU socket. The heatsink runs extremely hot and I noticed on Amazon that you can get tiny 5v 30mm fans with two connectors, each designed to fit a jumper style pin. Given that the LED headers for power and turbo run 5v, I was thinking of getting one of these tiny fans to permanently blow on the heatsink. Has anyone tried this 🤔?
