Hey, TMK, have you ever considered replacing the PSU chassis with a custom cover. That would have air blowing directly onto the heatsinks.

P.S., Howdy, EnderW!

Welcome to SPCR

The Panaflo is a 120mm fan. How are you supposed to fit that in a 80mm housing?

Without a doubt, tibetan mod king, you are the best thing to happen to these forums.

Best. post. ever.

Is there any fan you are aware of that could make the 510 quieter?

Or what other mods can quiet it further without sacrificing efficiency?

Thanks for the help. I'm looking forward to your input, king.

Anyone have a good idea what fan to replace the stock fan with? The stock fan is an 80mm fan pushing 30-44CFM with a 34-44dB sound level. I can appreciate the PSU's power & efficiency, but the sound is too much. I am also thinking about cutting a 120mm hole in the bottom panel & mounting a fan there...
