On a test system running on an Atom D323(?) - removed the cover and unplugged the psu fan. Good so far. The IR gun shows a psu temp of around 97 deg F and stable. There are two small case fans - one of them has a plug on the MB that is now unplugged. The other fan wires should be snipped eventually. And to make matters interesting, the video chip has a fan on the heatsink. Now get this, with the fan disabled and nothing pluged into the vga port, he temp shoots up within seconds from 84 deg F to 127 deg F. So, that fan got re-enabled.
