I recently discovered the obsession of a quiet case
I have a Thermaltake Armor, 1st gen if you know what I mean, no huge side fan.
I replaced the 2 front, 1 rear and cpu 120mm fans with quieter red ones, put every fan on a fan controller to control noise, got a new wd hard drive with less vibrations, and everything turned out great.
Now all I hear is this more loud than should be fan motor sound/ heavy air flow sound comming from me psu.
It never did this at first, I would have noticed...trust me.
Now to the main point, is replacing the 140mm fan stupid? I dont care about any warrenty, I bought it off some guy who won it in some gaming competition. I can put my finger in the middle groves to slow it down, and wow this thing can be much quieter, but obviously with a probable lack of airflow.
I was thinking of replacing the fan with this one and attaching it to a fan controller somehow to slow it down to hopefully better airflow than mine with less noise

Its the one with 41.13dBA 104.54CFM
Would this work? Ive never opened a psu before so i have no idea what to expect
