Description
Dual 120mm Fan Bracket for Steam Machine 🎮💨
Maximize the performance of your Steam Machine with this custom-designed dual 120mm fan bracket. This component is essential for anyone looking to transform their living room PC into a cool and quiet gaming machine
Why use this bracket
Unlike standard solutions, this design has been optimized to ensure directed airflow towards critical components, eliminating heat buildup typical of compact cases
Key features
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to accommodate any standard 120mm fan (the excellent Arctic P12s are shown in the photo)
- Smart Locking System: Includes an integrated locking tab that allows the bracket to snap perfectly into place inside the case, preventing vibrations or accidental movement
- Performance Boost: By lowering average temperatures, you will allow the CPU and GPU to maintain higher boost frequencies for extended gaming sessions without thermal throttling
- Robust Design: The reinforced structure also acts as an air duct, improving efficiency compared to individually mounted fans
Printing and assembly tips
- Material: Recommended PETG or ABS/ASA (due to proximity to heat-generating components)
- Orientation: It is recommended to print the part flat on the build plate to maximize bed adhesion and the strength of the locking tab
- Supports: Small supports might only be needed for the positioning tab, depending on the chosen orientation
Design Note: If you are building a custom Steam Machine, this bracket is the missing piece to ensure the longevity of your hardware
