This HBA runs pretty hot and I wanted to mount a fan to it instead of buying some cheap PCI slot fans. I recommend to print in PETG. After attaching the fan, the card will take up 2 PCI slots.
Parts:
LSI 9300-16i
Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (92x14mm, Black)
Printed face down with supports everywhere. I placed the rubber pieces on BOTH sides of the fan. Tricky to fit the fan in the shroud, be sure to put cable through the hole and orient fan to blow on the heatsink. You may need to bend the shroud clips. To attach to the heatsink, mount top clip into position and mind to not bump any SMD components. Then attach bottom clip, you may need to flex the fan shroud, once top and bottom are clipped slide the shroud to the left so the right clip is also mounted. It should be a tight fit and not slide around.
