@dc42 said in hot-plug part cooler fan:
It should be no worse than switching the fan on/off with the mosfet. If you are worried about it, you could connect a resistor of a few ohms in series with one of the wires, for example about 4 to 5 ohms for a 12V fan or 8 to 10 ohms for a 24V fan.
Perfect, ill go with this for now and if i want to get fancy down the road ill look into using a servo to lift it.
