Good info Wolfdog & congrats on the sucessful fan transplant. :+1: . Any chance we could get a few close up shots of it in the charger?
You have stuck with this & seen it thru… congrats.
Looking forward to that info on the new OPUS they are coming out with in the future too. :+1:
I am fortunate the LiteOn Power supply seems to have solved the problem I was having.
But following your lead, I have named my OPUS also. I have dubbed it with the title of…… Budro Tibido “Boo-Yah” OPUS.
For short, I shall refer to him as Boo-Yah; cause after the new power supply he is young & tough again.
Wolfdog—- Glad to see you are all fixed up—I know you were struggling with the fails,resets,etc—- The fan looks great from what I can see
Not to be left out—- Since I’ve never had none of these problems with my 3400 and it seems very close with it’s results—I decided to give him a name also- Being from the South I think Robert E Opus is a fitting name—- Jurys still out on the 3100
This is the best possible picture in my opinion.I enlarged as much as I could[100].The OP version was 85 iirc.
It is clear and you get to see how much it protrudes. Not really that much in real life.
Picture from front.
Notice the label is side ways? I did that on purpose because the wires lay better and are on the center of the board[not getting pinched] at 7 O’clock VS at 4:30!
The cover was pinching the wires a bit when installed at 4:30.
Right, I’ve seen that one. I was just hoping for a different angle close up. It looks real good from what I can see too. The slight gap in the case probably helps in air flow to wouldn’t you think?
yaaa, the little gap can not hurt,a little extra ventilation is good
The reason there is a gap is because I did not want to strip the screws like I did w/ King Opus! Also,It is not a perfect fit so once it starting getting tight enough I stopped tightening.
EDIT: The screws were not stripped. The fiberglass board[holes] got stripped.
Thanks,It is exciting to be a Flashaholic when through a learning process and help from others, we get to see results derived from manufacturers imperfections. :sunglasses:
Henry Xu is very accommodating and pretty efficient and reliable.
to me
Hi, Robert
With our new design, we have not fixed the fan size yet. If we can use two bearing type fan, I think the problem of fan reliability issue will be fixed, no matter ADDA fan or some other fan to be used.
We are still reviewing the fan internally.
regards
henry

This is in regards to the “NEWLY PLANNED GENERATION” OPUS which is due out in several months. This will be his present to me!
OH… I just saw the info from Mr. Xu you posted. Thanks for posting it… :+1:
Interesting & sounds good…. like they are trying to get it right on the first try.
Dropping termination to 2.7 V also…… works for me.
yaa,he needs to upgrade the fan which he appears to be doing and also provide easily accessible replacements.
For me, I would not use his stock fans in mine anymore unless the newly designed one coming out has ZERO STOPPAGES during discharge. Even then I would probably put the Delta in. I love the results and actually listening to its impressive CFM!
I have 2 X Delta fans and I have a source[speaker_joe] to get more.
Opus would never put that high quality of a fan in because of costs.
The reason the TOP of the fan protrudes more than the bottom[which is actually flush] is because when tightening the cover plate it pushes on the bottom of the fan and with no grooves to keep it in place, the top pushes out and protrudes.If the fan had grooves it would still stick out with the additional 1.5mm in depth. It would just be an even protrusion! lol!
I do not recall how “rdana” and HKJ explained it,but it works.
EDIT: Here is “rdana’s” answer. He is the ONLY one who sells the BT-C3400 V3.1
The original fan has an inline resistor added to it, this is why the fan is 5v, the terminal on the pcb is probably providing unregulated 12v (obviously the external PSU is regulated). The 5v fans is a probably the cheapest they could find and they just added a resistor to divide the voltage, I would think the gearbest fan is better at least in that regard. Do not use a 5V fan directly on that board, it will almost certainly blow out or die within days.
