anyone else have issues with the motherboard fan randomly not working properly and makes a horrible grinding noise? it will work normally sometimes, but about 75% to 80% of the time it wont. and its not just noise, the air it normally moves is greatly diminished to the point i worry it would overheat if i ran it like that. had multiple prints ive had to abandon mid print because the fan decided to not work in the middle of it. lost about a spool worth of filament because of this happening. ---

Open up the motherboard case & check the fan. My had broken screw inserts & was just lying in the case, it fell out when I opened it. I had to use different screws to secure it until Sovol sent me a replacement case. ---

If you are under warranty Sovol will ship you a new fan. However MANY users have chosen to buy a larger fan in and run it shower. Better cooling AND much much quieter. There are similar mods for the power supply if you search. ---

The SV06 case is smaller than the ACE. The ACE is roughly 1" longer & 1/4 wider.

Same here. In most cases it is ok, but sometimes it is extremely loud doing same operations. It looks to be secured well inside the case. I might replace the fan to a larger one running at lower rpm if I will find, current is 4010 24V fan. Maybe anyone of you could give advice for replacement? ---

You can find them on Amazon & it’s good to have a few on hand. When I replaced my case, I did the fan also as it started whining & cleaning didn’t help.
