Removing the A4000 power supply fan?

[A4000Bear]

A fair bit of the fan noise comes from restrictions in airflow caused by the fan cutouts and louvres in the power supply. Cut them away and replace with wire guards which provide less air resistance. This will reduce noise as well as improve air flow. There are also new style fans that have quieter bearings and fan blades too.

Well, I have a https://www.quietpc.com/nf-a8-flx incoming so I'm looking for the best and/or easiest ways to swap out the old. The current fan is so much noisier than this pc it's not funny. (Which is _nothing_ compared to what my 2000 was like - even after having a "NoiseKiller" heatbased resistor that made it a lot more silent...)

All things considered, I would rather have a little noise, than burn up my Amiga. With fan technology today, it shouldn't be hard to keep your Amiga cool, without a screaming fan.
Back when I had an A4000, I used one fan, similar to this:

and never had a problem - or much noise.

I ended up just cutting the wires to the old fan near the pcb and squeeze the cable together with the other cables coming out of the PSU, and using a supplied 3-pin to molex converter to power it.

That was much smoother and less painfull than expected!

cant go wrong with the Noctua NF fans, top quality and air flow is great in my full A4000

Should get one the right size for my 2000. Probably make a big difference.
