I have a noisy, intermittently working power supply fan that is starting to get on my nerves. Wondering if I can just open up the power supply and cut the wires to the fan to shut it up?! The other fan works perfectly and the box(powercenter desktop) is located in a cool room with plenty of air.
========================================= Yes, you can do as you suggest...
However, would prolong the life of your PowerCenter if, after you cut the wires, you splice wires to a new fan... ideally a 'Silencer' brand - if available in UK.
Preferable, too, to do this at start of day, after disconnecting PowerCenter from 'power' the night before, allowing any residual 'charge' in PS to dissipate.
I can email some info from PowerWatch & elsewhere if you'd like.
