Interesting. Is it cause of the noise? I find that upgrading the fans makes an insane improvement. The DBs stay the same w 1 or 2 fans no?
When running full power in the garage, I can hear the thing whining away in the kitchen with stock fans. The sound is entirely gone in the house with upgraded 140s and a new 60mm in the psu.
It just makes it quieter overall. What fans did you replace yours with? I looked at noctua fans but decided I didn't want to spend more money on these. They cost me $500 each 3 years ago. Now you can get 4 for that price 🤣
Ooof 500!
yeah I'll check the exact model but I went with th 140mm industrial version that's able to run up to 3k rpm so I have headroom if I run at full power. I figure they'll last longer if they spin at half speed normally. The industrial fans have 2k and 3k versions
This is the model I'm using
Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (140mm, Black) for Desktop https://a.co/d/2oVBCIG
You'll need a 120 to 140mm adapter though. If you do plan on the upgrade, I can print some adapters and bring to nostrville for ya if you like... lmk!
Same goes for anyone else headed that way. Happy to print some extras for anyone that wants it.
