Running an ender 5 and while my board technically works fine, the USB socket popped off and despite my best efforts the joint holders are too damaged to solder a new one.

I mean maybe it’s about time, I had lost the original config file anyways. Does anyone have an idea of what’s “good” these days? Not really looking to spend more than $200 if I can help it

    The steppers run quieter? I didn’t realize this was possible from just a board change

      They come with 2209’s which tend to be quieter

      I have the skr mini e3 v3 which has worked very well.

      Easy to setup in Klipper too if that’s your thing

      Not sure which drivers came stock on your Ender 5 board, it’s possible it already uses “quiet” drivers.

      Oh yeah what others said, the 2209 drivers are substantially quieter than those on the rambo. Most of the noise is from fans now.
