Help replacing PSU Fan

[Xeloa]

Hi, I'm new in the forum, I hope you guys can help me out with this inquiry.

 

I have a Cooler Master Power Plus power supply, it is too loud for me and I'm trying to replace the stock fan with a SP120 Quiet, I will be connecting the fan to the Mobo, I checked and the PSU will run even though there is no fan connected to it. What I would like to know is if the SP120 Quiet will be enough to cool the power supply, because I was checking the specs of the stock fan and they alot higher.

 

Here is the hardware.

 

PSU: http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/powersupply/extreme/extreme-power-plus-500w.html

Stock fan:  http://www.sunflowgroup.com/ProductShow.asp?ArticleID=880,       it is the model number DFS122512H

SP120 Quiet: http://www.corsair.com/es/cpu-cooling-kits/air-series-fans/air-series-sp120-quiet-edition-high-static-pressure-120mm-fan.html

 

Thank you very much in advance!

before you risk ruining it, ghetto it to the top.

No offense, but if you break it it's not that big of a deal; 500w PSUs are cheap.

if you want to replace it do it properly and get a noctua.

 

 

@MG2R is the maker of that video im sure he can help you if you have anymore questions

No. Don't do it. Like really it's fucking dangerous.

The only bad that can happen is if the fan specs are too diff since the PSU was tested with whatever fan it came with. That and putting the new fan back in the reverse order.

get the PWN version if you go with the MG2R way (because PSU have 4pin for their fans, i think)
