Re: [chat] Quiet cooling fan / casing

[Matt M <m@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

2 of the fans in the system are in the PSU, and I've not been brave enough 
to attempt any swapping yet (Nor has the current noise level gotten to me 
yet :)). The other four fans are, as I noted, stealths, and feature 3pin 
power connectors, and come with an adapter that'll convert them to 4pin 
molex's (ie regular PSU plugs).

As to swapping PSU fans, this is possible in some PSUs only. Most of the 
higher end models allow this, as far as I'm aware. Once again, though, I 
haven't attempted it before.

Cheers,

Matt

P.S. I have a P100 that gets away without any active cooling (minus feeble 
PSU fan)! Are you sure you need it? The best way to reduce noise is not to 
make it in the first place :)
