      So, I am converting my Delta from 12V to 24V because [reasons].

      Previously: 12V PSU, 12V fans (Two chassi fans, one fan for heatbreak, and 12V Berd AIr pump on external MOSFET).

      Planned upgrade: 24VPSU, 24V Berd Air, 24V Heater cartride and then I thought i would just use a 12V stepdown for the fans.

      Then I read that BerdAir wants a high PWM frequency to run cool. But my MOSFET does not appear to like anything over a few kHz. It become "on or off" as i go over about 5kHz.
      I read that it is safe to use a 24V Berd Air directly on a fan output (1.03 version of Duet2 WiFi). But then I will not be able to use my 12V existing fans. And since they are Noctuas I would like to keep them.

      So, what would the recommendation be in this case? Could I be creative with my as of yet unused extruder heater output? I will assume that it has no built in flyback diode?

      I have searched the forum, and seen many split voltage setups, but nothing that appears to fit my scenario.

      Any help appreciated.
