I haven't been able to make the trip to the local plastic store, so until then I decided to implement a temporary solution.
I propped up the 200mm fan with some bamboo sticks. The blue leds in the fan add to the mystique .

I finally got the lid made and fan mounted to it. I still have to track down a few more screws so that I can secure the stainless steel grill piece to the top of the fan.
The Internal Ambient Temperature is 38 degrees.
Looks cool
Any idea if Solution like this could work with BSS Units? I’m thinking running without BSS fan but with this on top.

This is an interesting unit, I had no idea such things existed !
A bigger fan will be more silent than smaller ones when moving a given quantity of air, but why not simply put a big fan on the top of the BSS like Fitero did?
The BSS already has (several) temperature sensors and the coupling will be better that way compared to an additional unit on top of the BSS. You would have to drill holes on the top cover of the BSS anyway for this system to work.
Following your track, I use only one fan over the four of the blu160 and my finger says OK.
To officially check it is ok, how to read real time the temperature of the blu device with London Architect? I did find the control panel in off line, but not anymore in online. Thanks in advance.
Also, in case I will go with a wide slow noisyless fan, would be any reason not to put it inside the BLU box instead on top of the top panel as I may want to pile devices?
There is not enough room inside the case of the BSS unit to mount the large fan. This is why I mounted mine on top.
I am sorry that I cannot help you with regard to finding the internal temperature of the BSS unit. I can't recall how I accessed the information on mine. It now just appears as one of the pages I see on London Architect.
Hi,
Just for the reference, figure made by our Forum member mica (http://www.audioheritage.org/vbullet...php?17620-mica)
of BSS BLU80 internal DSPs. Such ADSP-21161 has almost 4 times less speed then ADSP-21369 that are in BSS BLU160
regards

hello,
my bss is noisy. can i remove the fan or is not safe? bss 336 has no fan.
i am going to use in home audio, not in a rack
thanks
Hello
I dont know where i wrote in the thread. But i repeat: is safe to use a BSS 366t without fan in domestic audio? 336 model does not have fan
THanks
The 366T has quite a bit more processing under the hood than the 336. Possible solutions could be to replace the top cover with a metal screen and ensure adequate air flow above and / or use a larger, lower speed fan to ensure that air flow with the lid off. I've seen lower noise /lower CFM fans available but not sure I'd count on the lower CFM to do the job given how warm the processor gets. Too hot to touch if I remember correctly.
