[FS] Lenovo Tiny 10/25G Network Fan Shrouds

[Parallax]

If some one can assist me with some measurements, I can get some made!

Happy to do so on a P350 Tiny if you let me know what you need. Note the P350 (and possibly others) are special in that the SSD caddy doesn't fit, so the heatsink is probably a few mm wider than the mainstream Mx0q Tinys. But I'm sure whatever you design using the measurements will be universal enough to work on modern Tinys.

How loud are the fans?

Lmao, that's an interesting name. Uhm, I'm not familiar with the HP stuff. Does it have a PCIe expansion?

Yes.

Honestly, I can't even hear them unless I have them blowing into my ear. I've had a customer complain about some vibrations from the fan, maybe resonating with the plastic. I believe they were able to fix it by shimming the fan from the shroud.

I think what I need is a top down photo with the lid off. I might be able to discern what needs modded, if anything.

 

[WarlockSyno]

Yes.

Well I'll be... If I had one in front of me, I definitely could make one for that.

Let me know if any of you have any odd problems with the site, specifically with shipping quotes. If some of you out of States folks could let me know what kinda shipping rates you see, that'd be great.

I'll be getting more inventory in of other mods and I'm getting supplies now to make more shrouds. I've slightly improve the design of the shrouds as well, but nothing note worthy.

If it works for the M90q Gen2, I would love to try a shroud.

Here's a top picture of my M90q Gen2. As Parallax said, it might not be the same as the P350 since the M90q Gen2 can use the SSD caddy.

Thanks

So... I'm comparing this to a M720Q in front of me, and based on where the rear lid screen goes, it looks like the current design might just fit, it may interfere with the screw between the heatsinks, but not much modifications would be needed if I had to guess. It actually looks like the M720Q actually has the fan and shroud closer to the card than M90q Gen 2.

I also have an M70q, it has a very similar design to that M90q, but the heat sink bracket seems to be different.
Two things I notice, on the m70q, the screw for the heatsink bracket is in a different spot, probably because the M90q uses a two piece heatsink shroud, while the M70q uses a one piece. So, I believe your screw in set in the place where I've circled it on my M70q. If that's the case, I should be able to mock one up soon.



If I can get a pic of the P350, I'll see what can be done.

Yes, the location you circled is the main screw for my heatsink, so it has the spring tension around it and sticks up quite a bit.

I'm hoping it's an easy modification for you. Thanks again.

Lemme see if I can find a barebones unit that I can send your way...the more important one is probably the t740/755 since they'll stick around or a bit, and it can definitely use a fan shroud / thermal solution.

I'm travelling so not my photo, but hopefully this helps. Note the facia has been removed. I did measure the total front to back space available for a PCIe card with the fascia attached in a P350 Tiny, it's in the Tiny reference thread first post - 167mm.

If you reckon it'll fit I'll be a customer.

Edited to add : doubly so if I can get a P350 compatible bracket/baffle for a MCX4121A.

I'm debating trying to fit a X710-T4L into the case... that's a 167 mm long card (per Intel spec). Any thoughts on a shroud for a giant card like that?

Assuming it would fit - I haven't seen a report to confirm or deny - might be worth checking in the Tiny reference thread to see if anyone can comment on the logistics and temperatures.

Actually I see you checked in there.

These are the shipping options I see to the Netherlands.

Well that's a lot better than I thought! When I didn't have a business USPS account, it was $60+. $20 is tolerable, depending on the order.

 

[Parallax]

Will you have more fan shrouds soon? I ask because I'm in the US next week and it's much cheaper to ship to me there than in the UK.

Well, I wont have the supplies in for another week, but I can rush order some parts to get some made.

But! I do have two USB fans that I forgot to put the larger piece of heat shrink tubing over when I made them, so they function they just don't look as nice. PM the address you want the shroud shipped to and I'll send it there for $15 shipped!

Working on the prototypes now!

 

[WarlockSyno]

I think I've got a prototype good to go, if someone would be willing to print it off and test it. If no one has a printer, I could mail it and pray it fits.

 

[smstewart_9554]

Sorry, I don’t have a printer. But it takes work to prototype and I’m really appreciative of your efforts. I’ll buy the prototype and give you feedback. Just to remind you I have a m90Q Gen 2.
