But then I don't have to go to the trouble of designing a fan management system of any kind and fitting it to the board - just to do without it. One might argue, for example with the 2000Xplus, that it was planned at the time, but then a different decision was made. Maybe, no question. But then I won't do the same thing again with the next board... |

What if you don't learn from your mistakes? 😉 |

--- Code: ---If the better fan costs 40 cents more, and the 4-pin connector costs 10 cents more, then multiply that 50 cents by 100,000 units or whatever they sell, and it adds up fast. --- End code --- But imagine if only 10% of the users are dissatisfied by a noisy device and will not take into consideration to buy the next device manufactured by this company... it is a much bigger cost/earning ratio effect then the previous additional spending for a proper silent construction! |
| KungFuJosh:
I'm not aware of anybody changing devices based on the fan noise. We usually just change the fan. |

I take that extra cost any day, and let others worry about the rest. And you do this, because the second you finished the project, the certifications, and everything, and sent it out to production, managers* start adding and removing features from your product. Even if you tell them if they dare adding a single new feature again you ran over them with a road roller. |
