Can someone point me to a good site/thread on replacing fans in peripherals/PSUs/computers in general please? I don't mind soldering.
The purpose is to make everything quieter. That they may make the devices cooler or use a lot less electricity are big plus points.
a. Is this a reasonably simple job? Namely, match the plug and the size of the fan?
b. Which fans in which machines are the low-hanging fruit?
c. Which fans in which machines would benefit most from a new fan? For example LC 475? Compact Mac cases?
d. What about the fans in PSUs? Stay away or go for it?
e. Which fans in which machines should I be careful of? I have blown processors in the past because I forgot to plug in the processor fan, namely a Pentium III 1000mHz processor back in the year 2000. That was an expensive mistake.
f. Does anyone have advice on this topic? If it ain't broke, don't fix it?
