I've managed to tame the temps on my 9306 by getting a single slot fan shroud for it:
LSI SAS3008 HBA high temperature ?

my google-fu is apparently not strong - do you have a source for that single slot fan shroud ? I like it and it would be great for a use-case I have.
Here's the .STL file for the fan shroud, it can be printed in one go (no bad overhangs); its designed around a GDB5410 fan that just snaps in.
I might actually design an improved version using a BFB0612HB fan in the near future because I'm not 100% happy with the amount of noise this iteration makes.

Please ignore that version 2e of the cooler. I've designed a version 3a that has significantly better performance with the same GDB5410 fan. I had to flip the fan around so that it intakes air are from the PCB side of the card rather than the "front" of the card due to the chirality of the fan. The new cooler performs more than 20F better than the old one while running a noctua low noise adapter (vs the old one running at the full 12 volts) and being close-ish to silent.

These are great! They should be mass produced and sold because there is a need for active cooling of SAS controller cards.
