Is your Dreamcast's fan super noisy, and (possibly) clogged with dust? Fan technology has advanced so much, that this kit, which comes with a high performance 5v original Noctua fan, is almost completely silent, and offers the same (if not better) airflow for your beloved Dreamcast.

The kit comes complete with the fan, the mounting bracket, a conversion cable and replacement top lid latch. You will also receive the fan in its original packaging, unopened, with all accessories, or the box with any unused accessories, if you are selecting this as an install accessory.

This is most likely the easiest mod for the Dreamcast, that offers such a dramatic improvement to your dreamcast (and your sanity).

We use SLS 3D printing technology, which results in hugely better quality than filament 3D prints you normally find on eBay. The brackets are more sturdy, and last much longer.

Includes:

1x Noctua 5v Fan, new in box
1x SLS 3D Printed fan bracket in white
1x SLS 3D Printed lid latch in white
1x 2pin to 3pin conversion adapter with capacitor in line

Hazel D. ★★★★★

The fan swap took maybe ten minutes and now my Dreamcast hums instead of roaring like a jet engine about to take off. It’s such a relief not to hear that grinding whir every time I boot up a game.

Owen ★★★★★

I’ve had this Dreamcast for years and the whirring was driving me nuts, so swapping in this kit was a breeze. The fan itself feels much lighter and runs whisper-quiet now, and it even came with the right screws to finish the job in under twenty minutes.

Henry ★★★★★

My Dreamcast was barely audible after installing this kit, and the new fan pushes plenty of air without that old grinding whine. Took maybe fifteen minutes to swap out, and the dust filter is a nice touch for keeping it clean longer.
