Fan

I have attached a Noctua 60mm fan to a 3d printed lid to my case that blows air over my SFP+ ports. I have the fan plugged into GPIO. Had to cut a fan extension cable and some dupont cables. Soldered the female dupont ends to the positive and negitive on the fan extention and plugged it into the GPIO pins in the image and it works
