The Compute Blade Fan Unit, now available in two groundbreaking editions – STA and Smart.
The STA edition, designed with simplicity in mind, offers the fundamental cooling solution for dual compute blades, featuring precision PWM control for optimal fan speed regulation.
Elevate your experience with the Smart edition. Powered by the innovative RP2040 from Raspberry Pi, this edition redefines cooling intelligence. With two precise temperature sensors, each dedicated to monitoring an individual blade, the Smart system dynamically adjusts fan speed for optimal energy efficiency.

no cutting corners
easy to set up, easy to use
Each Fan Unit fits two Compute Blades. The Fan Unit plugs right into the tip of the Blade and is powered from there, no additional wiring needed. It is compatible with all Uptime Industries Blade Runner products.
The STA Version is simply controlled via PWM. On the other hand, the Smart Version is controlled by the RP2040 and can be programmed over UART.
