[waits for rtw]

I'd be more interested to know if it can be (safely) disabled. That damn thing is annoyingly loud.

Its perfectly fine to operate outside of the metal case (just like Ketsui and Espgaluda). But I wouldn't leave it in the case if the fan is broken or disabled, it will overheat.

Yeah, I'm sure rtw will know the exact specs.

Googleing that part number shows about 100 places where you can buy that fan. Digikey has a great parts catalog if you order from them.

I have my fan turned down with a pot, running for an hour at a time at the most, on a shelf.

I think that full power is more of an all day in the bottom of a cab thing.

I just keep my DDP-DOJ PCB (with metal case and Cave protection seal still intact) with the cooling fan stock and no mods to it at all...

Keeping it cool as Cave intended it to be from the get-go "powered up"... ^_~

The cooling fan on such a metal-encased DDP-DOJ PCB isn't as loud as a factory installed CPS2 based one -- that generates such a very high pitched whine as it is when turned on...

This board is perfectly safe to operate in the case with the fan disabled. The only component that might require any sort of cooling in extreme heat will be the Voltage Regulator, which already has a heatsink on it.

If you game in the Amazon or a dungeon then maybe you should consider keeping the fan enabled, but otherwise you will be fine. The PGM's hardware is nowhere near robust enough to require any sort of cooling.

The only component which has a heatsink is the amplifier.
