Installation Notes:
- Be sure to check the polarity on the wires you are connecting our fans to. Typically red is positive and black is negative but some of the Chinese printers to not adhere to these standards.
- There is no list of what machines use what as it can vary from model to model and we have even seen differences in wiring colors used in the same printer models.
- Our fans use red for positive and black for negative. You can verify polarity with a cheap $10 multimeter from Amazon or you local hardware store.
- If fans are shorted out/killed due to improper wiring this is NOT covered under warranty.
- Some Creality machines have been reported to have larger size metal screw standoffs. If your fan holes do not fit over them please see this article to make the fan fit correctly while still using the stock screws.
- Fan Mod Article: Fitting Fans to Creality Machines – Larger Metal Standoffs
- Noise notes:
- In our testing and per the manufacturer specs these are quieter than stock fans based on dB measurements taken with a calibrated dB meter.
- Removing and/or changing the design of the grill that the fan is behind will change the noise level that is perceived to your ears and it is subjective based on the person listening.
- We only use dB meters to check noise levels. Most stock fans are 30-35dB in noise levels based on measurements of the stock fans from Creality, Tevo, and Wanhao that we measured here.
- It is said that every 10dB increase in noise is perceived as 2x the loudness that a person hears (see here for detailed info on loudness and how it is perceived).

For Ender 5 Plus users or others that don’t have have the silent board, these fans should be a 3rd upgrade. First, find a silent Creality board so the steppers are quiet–maybe one day they will just include it from the factory. Then you need to deal with the Meanwell RSP-500-24 power supply fan; that PSU fan is terribly loud when it kicks on and sounds like a server room. Note that at least some of the mods for the PSU involving large case fans do not provide enough flow.
After your PSU is quiet, then these would be a third upgrade.

I was hesitant to order one of these fans because of the cost over other alternatives, but after hearing how quiet this is, I’m ordering a second for my case fan. I’ve bought many cheap 4010 fans over the years and none even come close

The hotend fan I was using was sound original. It worked but it was getting on my last nerve sitting in the same room with it. While this fan is not absolute silent it is twice as quiet as that one it replaced. It is tolerable now to sit in this room while the ender 3 is printing. Quiet fan along with a board with quiet stepper drivers will keep you from going insane.

Originally I wanted to use the Noctua fans because of how quiet they are but I didn’t want to deal with running overvoltage on a fan or having to use buck converters. These fans do the job just fine. Sure they may not be as quiet as the Noctua fans but these are plenty quiet.
If you’re going for a silent build maybe get the Noctuas but if you care more about the airflow and don’t want to deal with heat creep I’d go with these.
I’m about to order another for my mainboard!
