ah that's how we all start, first thing you do is take a fan out of a power supply then you find yourself powering a Pi with 3 potatoes or making an oven that heats up your chicken wings to 500 ºC but also leaves the entire building without powerOh lord, you're not actually planning to take a fan out of your PSU are you? I have to ask given there are three previous threads of you trying to use PC fans in odd ways.
Short answer - No.@DSzymborski Can the need for a PSU heatsink be removed by bridging the PSU heatsink to the chipset heatsink?

That simply is not true. Most good psus do NOT have the fan running all the time for noise.A good PSU should have its fan running all the time, even at low RPM to remove heat from the computer case.
And even without a shroud, the PSU is usually mounted so it is pulling air from underneath, and blowing it out the back.In any modern case with a psu shroud, the psu doesn't even help with exhaust
It's obvious you don't have much experience here. Step away from the psu. Seriously. You can be severely electrocuted by residual energy in the capacitors. It might even be fatal.
Which SPECIFIC one?@DSzymborski The fan is in the PSU, but it never spun . Narrowing it down, the model is a Kingwin Mach 1.
