UPDATE: After two days of running with the Noctua Fan running at full-speed (4500 RPM), I decided to install the 'Low Noise Adapter' (bringing it down to 3700 RPM) to see what would change. Well - it was 'significantly' quieter, and the temps wen up less than 5%, so I will be leaving that adapter installed.

I would have it blowing in. That would provide great overall air flow through the chassis, and keep a neutral air pressure inside. If you create a negative air pressure by having them both blow out, then you will actually hurt your cooling.

This worked really well on the older version of this same NVR (hardware version H3MB16). The temperature is noticeably cooler, even with the low noise adapter installed. People doing this upgrade should take note that the motherboard on the older units is different and that the 2-pin fan header is on the right side of the motherboard, near where the main power cord connector is. Cable routing is therefore different than in this video, but the cables + low noise adapter are long enough to connect without issues. I routed mine around the hard drive and behind the front face plate. Also, the older units can only be upgraded to 4TB hard drives, not 6TB... even though the new & old NVRs look the same externally. Reolink must be doing some "German engineering" in their production plants to confuse the end user and limit product functionality / upgradeability, lol.

@@SevenSixTwo2012 I am a 'Heat Bigot' I'm afraid. In my very early early days - first working with my Father fixing Television Sets, then later as a Mainframe Field Engineer (repair person) - I found that heat was the "killer" of all electronics. In just a matter of 5-years of running under excessive heat, the solder on the PC boards would start to flake and increase resistance, and the discrete components (Capacitors, Resistors, Coils, etc.) would begin to fail in massive numbers. I even got one of my Father's customers to let me add fans to his beloved TV that he inherited from his Father. That TV set lasted nearly 20-years according to a letter I got from that customer after my Father passed. I do everything to fight heat.

@@PE4Doers Some very good insights, thank you for sharing your experience. I don't like heat in my electronics and other tools / machines either, unless heat is a required part of their operation. By the way, my old gen Reolink NVR is running cool as a cucumber now. The casing is literally cool to the touch, whereas before it had some obvious heat radiating form it. I think that the older generation NVRs probably had less processing power and thus generated less heat. My theory. 🙂

I agree. Blowing air into the unit is a better way to cool. If you think about it, any air that you suck out of the unit and into it is being warmed by the units case as it enters the unit through case vents. Also, just saw a video on the 16 channel Reolink that comes with a fan and that fan is blowing the air into the unit and out the vents as it came from the factory.

I'm going to connect the NVR to my 55-inch television that I bought a year ago. It's compatible with the Smarthings app. This is important. You can add smart things app to Alexa and create a routine to switch to a dedicated HDMI port that the NVR is connected to when motion is detected. For HDMI 1, I use it for streaming videos, watching satellite, Xbox, etc. There's an HDMI switch on my Yamaha Sound so I can easily switch the HDMI ports but it isn't Alexa-friendly. For HDMI 2, I'll be using it for the NVR to view the split screens of the cameras. I'm using YoLInk as my home security and it's been working great. They have awesome outdoor motion sensors. No wires. 1/4 mile range. When motion is triggered, it sets off the alarm and turns on the TV, and switches it to HDMI 2. This way the TV will be off unless I or the Alexa routine turns it on.

You are very welcome. Just keep it in mind that you may have to experiment using that extra cable that makes the fan slow-down somewhat. Initially I put in in series with the cable, but later decided to take it out to cool things down further. I did not notice much of an increase in noise by removing the 'slow-down' cable, however in my case, I had the unit sitting on a shelf in my Network Rack, so the sound is somewhat drowned-out by other network components.

I have the 16 channel that comes with a fan. I got if off ebay so not sure if this is a return/reason it was being sold but the fan was quite loud. So I replaced with the Noctua fan and also decided on the low noise adapter. The stock fan was actually installed blowing in rather than out of the case. This didn't make a lot of sense to me as there are a bunch of plugs, ribon cables, etc. blocking the air from getting to the internal components. I installed the Noctua as an exhaust. Mine seemed to run fairly cool in the first place so not sure if the fan is even really needed but obviously wouln't hurt. Although, maybe the fan becomes necessary if you are running 16 channels and two hard drives. BTW, these Noctua fans are great with only one major flaw ... anything you buy will cost you $15-$20 more because you become spoiled with how quiet they run ... nothing else will compare!

It was to the side, away from the camera inputs, next to another connector. Located between the power connector and the ribbon cable that goes to the front controls. I checked the voltage on mine, was 12.3vdc, and hooked it up there. Seems to be working fine.

my 2.5 year old REOLINK NVR runs quite warm/hot. Finally, the NVR started rebooting itself. Finally, it froze and wouldn't boot. I opened the NVR and disconnected and reconnected the HD cables and it came back. But the HEAT inside was the real problem so I bought and installed the Noctua Fan. It really helped to cool down the outside of the case and it is no longer warm. WARNING: trying to secure the 2 metal screws into the frame and the bottom of the fan is very DIFFICULT. Wish you would show how to make it easier for the newcomers ? ( you need the larger phillips head screwdriver that can apply torque ) Thanks !

Thanks, I will take a closer look at that.

Dang. I didn’t know the newer ones did away with the fan until well - I noticed there wasn’t one inside mine - unlike the old NVR that I replaced (which looks exactly the same externally)! I’m measuring temps of 109°F - 115°F and it’s not even the hottest part of the day yet! I just ordered the Noctua fan from Amazon now. I literally just installed the new NVR days ago.

I am with you on that. I have purchased many less-expensive console unit that come with a fan. One thing I was pleasantly surprised with however was the very low noise of the Noctua. I did however, have to take out that 'silencing' cable that came with the Noctua kit once the temperatures starting to rise this summer (which speeds the fan up some). Doing that cooled it down more with a little higher sound. Although in my network rack I do not notice it.

Reolink has gotten sneaky with this. They swapped the polarity of the wires in the J14 connector - so youll have to remove the pins in the connector from your Noctua kit and swap them around. Credit to this channel kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZ-omMqQmMu2dZc.html which will help you with the process.

Thanks for the update. Was that done for any specific models of the Reolink NVR?

Thank you so much for this information. I bought a new RLN8-410 that has the 2 pin connector on the right side (in this video is on the left). I plugged the fan but it didn’t work. Then I saw this comment, I changed the polarity of the Noctua connector and the fan perfectly worked. Hope this can be helpful for other people

Thanks - this got the fan working for me as well for the RLN8-410
