Fan Mount for 100GbE Mellanox ConnectX-5 MCX556A-EDAT

Hey guys, I’ve just uploaded this 3d model for attaching a fan to my 100GbE NIC:

Just thought this might be useful for some people on here - it drastically improved my NIC temps (from 80c+ to about 55c in my case) and is perfectly silent (Noctua FTW).

(if the link doesn’t work just search for “Mellanox ConnectX-5 fan” on thingiverse)
