| As a side effect, noises can be emitted through the fan due to the pulsating current. This refers to noises that cause the propeller to vibrate due to the electric coils. Noise can also have other causes. Worn bearings are often the cause. The PWM filter does not help against this kind of interference noise. | As a side effect, noises can be emitted through the fan due to the pulsating current.

| The speed and volume of the component cooler (lower A5 FAN) can be regulated via GCODES. The cooling duct supplied by the factory is not effective. DaHai has tested alternatives and found that fan speed can be reduced with a more effective cooling duct. This is very good because we want to reduce noise.\\ | The speed and volume of the component cooler (lower A5 FAN) can be regulated via GCODES.
