   Great upgrade to control noise
   There were 2 reasons I wanted to purchase this to upgrade my Ender 3 Pro. My printer was purchased back in 2020 (so about a 3 year old printer now). I have upgraded many parts on it and this has been a great addition for a small price point.Installation:Installation was easy. The hard part was transferring the cables from the old board to the new board. I chose to have both boards in the same area at the same time and transfer the wires 1 at a time. This helped to get every wire transferred to the correct location. The only change was for the fan that cools the board; the plug was moved near the fan that cools the hot end. If you are not familiar with working with the connectors, take your time so you get it right.First Prints:The first print worked but I had problems at first. Octoprint didn’t like how the temperature was being sent out by the firmware so I had to get a plugin on the Octoprint side. After getting the plugin, the printer started reporting the temperature correctly to Octoprint. When I printed a part, I noticed the temperature for the bed took longer to heat up. I also noticed the hot end temperature was fluctuating +/- 9C which really concerned me. Even when I had disconnected Octoprint and had the firmware control the temperature (which really is being controlled when Octoprint is being used), the temperature would still fluctuate. To get Octoprint to start printing, I would have to select the cancel print from the printer because it would be stuck on heating the hot end. A couple of times, I got an E1 error because the firmware would not recognize the hot end heated correctly.Firmware Upgrade:After searching for a solution to the temperature problem, I found information about “PID Auto Tuning”. This helps to control the power being sent to the hot end to maintain the temperature. The firmware that is included with my board was Marlin 1.0.1 which does not include a setting to perform a PID Auto Tuning. Other information on the Internet showed that the Marlin 2.x.x firmware was needed. Some of the sites showed a way to compile my own firmware which looked a bit more than I wanted to do for now. In the end, I found “ShinyUpgrades-2.0.9.3-With-Mesh-7×7-427-235×235–20220205-200949.bin” which allowed me to perform the PID Auto Tuning. Once the tuning completed and I saved the settings, the hot end temperature was +/- 1C.Final Thoughts:My final thoughts are positive. I like this upgrade. If I listen close, I can hear the stepper motors. The fan noise is the most noise now. I get nervous when I start a print because I have to visibly inspect the printer to make sure it started printing. The Shiny firmware puts the hot end in the middle of the bed when heating up (and I hope I can change that). I hope Creality will release a firmware that will allow for PID Auto Tuning but until then, Shiny will work.

   Very quiet and a nice upgrade from 4.2.2
   This board is quite literally plug and play. The motor drivers are very quiet so the only thing you’ll hear are your fans. There’s an occasional driver noise but it’s usually when there’s a big movement of an axis. This still comes nowhere near the noise on my last board. Flashing firmware was very straightforward and easy and I was off to the races.The one thing I will warn you of is this: if you decide to try and adjust vref on your stepper motors using the on board potentiometers, they are VERY FRAGILE and require VERY LITTLE TURN. The Phillips pattern you see is essentially made out of aluminum foil and doesn’t need much umph. Don’t be like me and think that your X vref is permanently stuck at 2.311V.

   Works great and quiet
   Definitely quiets down the printer and works well. Can be a little tricky to install if you haven’t messed with electronics much. Plug and play is nice and is a great upgrade over the older board.

   Simple upgrade & completely quiet!
   I bought this upgrade simply so I could flash new firmware to my printer without any special equipment but the bonus was that my printer runs completely quiet now! Incredible! All I can hear now are the cooling fans; the motors are silent!Installation is simple but fussy just because there’s not a lot of slack in the wires. It’s doable, though. Just connect the wires before securing the new MB in place. It makes it a lot easier than the other way around.

   Easy swap, amazing noise reduction
   I haven’t been printing long enough to give an accurate passement on print quality but I can say that my calicat printed phenomenal with this mobo. If you’re like me, the noise reduction alone is worth this upgrade, everything else is a bonus. On the Ender 3 Pro, the screen menu is slightly reorganized but the labels are easy to find what you are looking for. Best of all the printing is completely silent except for the fans. If you were to get some quieter fans you couldnt even tell it was printing.The install was easy, i labeled the plugs that were unlabeled prior to swapping and for the wired connections i went wire by wire from one board to the next. If you ever build a computer or upgraded components this is cake, if not just watch a video for a basics of getting to everything and its really straightforward.Overall I am very happy with the mobo and no complaints thus far. It was plug and play with the Ender 3 Pro firmware preinstalled.

   I made a mistake with my new printer and crashed the main board so I replaced it with the Upgraded Quiet Board. What a difference, the printer is almost totally quiet other than fan noise and the wheel noise, the steppers are quiet, appear to run smother and I think the machine has increased in speed as well. The board I crashed was a 32 bit version 4.2.2 that came with the printer it worked well but the steppers were quite noisy, it didn’t bother me as the machine in in my workshop and not in a normal living space. However the upgraded board in my opinion is very worth the time and money to install. I kept my original screen with the manual knob as I didn’t like the reviews on the touch screen, as well the original screen works well and the functions are easy to use . The board is not difficult to replace, I carefully laid the printer on it’s side on a large work surface, and removed the original board with the wires still attached, I then transferred each wire over one at a time until the new board was wired, except for the stepper connections, I then mounted the new board into the printer. Use care with the screws, they are small and non magnetic, I spent quite a bit of time fishing screws out of the rail slots until I came up with the idea of holding the screw in position with needle nose pliers while starting them with the Allen wrench. After the board is installed I connected the stepper cables. I took a page from the OEM and added a small bead of hot glue to the connectors to help vibration proof them.Time spent, about 45 minutes, then I followed the direction given in the installation instruction and flashed the new board with the operating system. My printer is printing as I write this, no issues, everything works as advertised.

   Delivers as promised on the silent stepper drivers, the loudest noise now is the hot end fan, and the PS fan. Don’t mind having it running in the same room when I’m working from home anymore.Worked great with the BL Touch 2.0 I installed, and was a breeze to flash with the appropriate firmware. Having Mesh levelling at the beginning of each print is just a game changer in terms of reliability.The improvements in firmware usability are great as well. I absolutely LOVE that it asks to confirm what program you are running now. No more hitting the button and hoping you picked the correct one.Cannot recommend this upgrade enough if you have a 1st gen Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro.

   Simple upgrade. No issues whatsoever. Just swap the cables. The only thing I did differently was to cut the connector off the enclosure fan and wire it direct to the 24V pins so it is on continually and I strongly suggest you do the same. Super easy to do. I needed to upgrade to use a CRTouch but it’s incredible how quiet these servo drivers are. All you hear is the fans. CRTouch worked perfectly (install the correct firmware from Creality via SD and buy Creality). Great upgrade to breathe new life into an old workhorse. Buy Creality for a plug and play experience. This also goes for hotends and especially nozzles.

   Using this motherboard to update me Ender 3 was the way to go. Incredibly silent stepper drivers. Hard to believe that it’s the same printer that I’d acquired.Super easy to install as well. No issues there.

    Works great in the CR-10. But you need to update the firmware obviously. My last silent boards Mem card started not locking the card in mid print it would eject across the room. Great to have a replacement
