Replacing Q-tech PSU fan?
Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2003 11:39 am
The most noisy thing in my computer is my Q-tech 300W PSU. I wonder if it would help to change the PSU fan to a Papst 8412 NGL (1500 rpm). Will that be enough to cool the PSU? (I'm using two other Papsts to cool the case.)
Also: Should I connect the fan to the old fanwires or should I take the power from the MoBo's 3pin-connector?
I don't know the model of the PSU but I bought it 2 years ago and it has quite small heatsinks, is temperaturecontrolled and has a switch for voltage selection (110/230) on the back.
My system: Athlon 1GHz, 512MB, CD, 2 HDD, Gforce2MX and an Aardvark Q10 soundcard (that should be able to feed 48v to 4 mics)
