Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I have an Akasa Crypto case with 80W PSU (external brick).
I thought the whole point of having the external brick was that I wouldn't have a PSU fan, but they put a 50mm in there cooling the DC-DC board.
Does anyone have experience with this kind of PSU, and does anyone know if I can get rid of the fan? I want to have a single 92mm or 120mm fan above the ZOTAC Atom heatsink only ideally.
Thanks!
Raj
Do I need 50mm fan? Need advice!

It's a nice looking case, but that fan does seem silly. Still, it is probably there to keep something in the dc/dc board from overheating. Maybe try it w/ the fan off and see if it stays stable. Or just find a way to slow the fan down so it's not noisy. Link to Akasa case.
