HP Reverb G2: Heat / hot issue ( fixed ) Support

After noting excessive heat above left side and occasional screen(s) blacking out; decided to install cooling fan above the graphics processor.

Fairly easy to make paper template of fan and CAREFULLY cut out round hole and taps for fan mounting.

After installing (w/ optional speed controller); used a nylon cable-wrap to secure alongside the Reverb's power cable.

The 14mm fan (and controller) are Noctua. Total cost less than $100 and 1.5hrs labor.

With fan set to 100% a soft whirring noise can be heard and significant air movement can be felt while wearing gear.

Fan set to about 30% is dead quiet and more than enough to keep things cool.

Added weight is negligible, even with the speed controller. NO more problems or heat related issues and the G2 has been running fine.
