My fan doesn't connect to the psu itself but to the motherboard. You just run the cable through the fan grill, the Nexus fan I used had a cutout where the cable would fit through.

For about a month I've been using the computer with the psu out, it looks kind of like the case just spilled its guts onto the floor. I found with the enermax on its side, the fan noise went away. Until today. So I voided my warranty and opened up the psu, it is actually a very straightforward and p...

You can actually hear the fan spin up and down. Recently it has degraded into a so...
