I recently got into projectors! Now back in the old days, projector were quite expensive. At least if you want a decent one. But apparently prices went down quite a bit and thus I got myself a pretty decent projector for around 200€ recently. Only problem is, that its cooling fan is way too loud. So in this video, we will explore the world of heatsink systems and hopefully come up with a plan in order to make the fan of my (or your) projector quieter. Let's get started!
