Is it worth changing the fan on my Zalman 9500?

Just wondering.....

Do you guys think it is worth the time, effort, and money to change the stock fan on the Zalman 9500 ?

and is the nexus 92mm the only fan that will work with this mod ?

And suggestions or comments please!

If you read the mod off the main SPCR site then you should have a pretty good grasp of how 'worth it' the entire affair is. Any 92mm fan should work, Nexus has regulation-length blades - some might even be better with pressure but doubt the difference would matter much.

I've got my 9500 running at 5V, inaudible if there is any noise in the room. Wouldn't say the swap would be worth it. Doesn't get annoying even while gaming, temperature-controlled setup.
