Review on πŸ’ͺ Powerful PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 4 - Enhanced Cooling Fan Included by Ashley Scott

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fan too loud. Here's how to set it up. but it's still too loud.

Compared to the official Pi POE hat (B07GR9XQJH), this fan is insanely loud. Especially if it just turns on for a second. I thought the following fan settings would help, but it still turns on for short periods of time, making weird, obnoxious noises as it does so. I have 3 of these and they all do the same thing as the "official" PoE board. I would spend the extra federal dollars and buy it. Here are some notes after figuring out how to get fan controller working on Ras 10 with Pi4: add this to /boot/config.txt on RPi4. Adjust the temperatures as yo see fit.dtoverlay=rpi-poedtparam=poe_fan_temp0=59000dtparam=poe_fan_temp0_hyst=2000dtparam=poe_fan_temp1=63000dtparam=poe_fan_temp1=_hyst3000dtparam=poe_fan_temp2=68000dtparam=poe_fan_temp2=_hyst3000dtparam=poe_fan_temp3=72000
