...a fanmod for my workstation...

My workstation should be pretty quiet… if it wasn’t for a Enlight server-PSU with screaming fans I had in there… So it’s time to mod!

One of the fans was very thin and I couldn’t get this Coolermaster-fan on the inside… so I put it on the outside (along with RPM-cables)

Here you can see the difference in height… Also the reason I couldn’t fit it inside again… It only seemed possible to cramp it all together if I took my motherboard with monster-coolers out first…

So I did!

...and everything fits inside again! I didn’t mod the voltage or anything, just swapped the fans with a more quiet model. I did get RPM-sensoring and inside the PSU is a temp-sensor taking care of the voltage the fans get. They don’t run at 12V, that’s for sure and it’s pretty quiet all together…

Case Closed!
