I have recently purchased one of these PSUs for the work I do at home (electronics final year student) and I am wondering if anyone has made any modifications to make the thing a little more quiet?
There is a chance that mine is louder than the norm, but either way I think it could do with an upgrade, so I was looking at a noctua NF-A6x25 FLX fan to replace the current one. My only concern is for heat dissipation. I don't expect this to be a problem as the psu only supplies 40W total, so the size of the heatsink is likely meant for higher power models, but there is always the possibility that a new fan will not deliver enough airflow and damage the power transistors. What I could do is wait for my 121GW (yes I bought one o: ) and then I will be able to measure the temps of the heatsink, although I will have to look into what temps are acceptable.
So has anyone done anything like this? or other mods for that matter?
Thank you
