Fixed
And noise level comparison to OEM fan ?
Any chassis/mounting mods performed ?
Doing noise level would have been a good idea, but the old fan had already died. Frankly, I think the new fan is only slightly quieter based on qualitative listening.
Of course the Noctua connector was different, so I had to cut the connector off of the old fan and solder on to the new fan. Noctua provides rubber mounts. I should have used them...prolly would have made a difference. Maybe I will tear it down and try.
Getting into the scope is very straightforward...an easy repair.
