Michał Kowalski Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hello, I have a new RS 19 HT batch 2 and despite the temperature reaching 41 degrees, the fan does not start. I checked inside the fan turns freely. Please check at what temperature the fan should turn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprawdziłem, że wewnątrz wentylator obraca się swobodnie. Proszę sprawdzić, w jakiej temperaturze powinien się włączyć wentylator. Solved the fan turns on at 44 degrees and only when driving, it turns off when stationary. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctua is a ~5cfm fan vs. Stock fan being ~20cfm. I put a Noctua in my RS and it's temperature was running way hot and kept rising. 130+f. The stock fan keeps it at 103f or below. Ofcourse you could do some modifications and put 3 noctuas in your RS. I never hear the stock fan anyways because of wind noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the position of the fan doesn't make sense. If they had designed it the vent warm air out of the shell or cooler air in they would not have had to use a smaller sized fan. When standing still I have observed temps just keep going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When standing still I have observed temps just keep going up. Yeah the position of the fan is not great but the reason it's there is to be as close to the mosfets as possible. They could have turned the whole pcb around 180 degrees and had the mosfets closer to the open space next to the pcb. Right now I have one stock fan mounted in that open space and the temps are fine until you start climbing hills. When summer time returns I will probably add a second stock fan to the wheel and will never worry about overheating. It'll also be even louder. Like a little blow dryer lol.

If they have the torque version it very well could be a totally different experience than what I've had. While I was running the Noctua it was pretty nice to have a dead silent wheel, besides the 8khz ring from the motor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am honestly considering trying to find an extra side panel, making a hole near the speaker area with a Noctua venting out and seeing what happens. I guess i would also have to seal off the speaker area, and have some sort of mesh to reduce the potential of water splashing in. I doubt it compromise it more for water ingression than it already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
