Hello!
Some days ago I bought an Ultra5 on eBay, it arrived and works fine
but the fan is too much noisy!
Now I have a 80x80 Zalman Silent Fan but I can't replace it because
the standard dimensions are 90x90.
I have some solutions:
- undervolt the internal fan to make it running more slowly (only 5V
instead of 12V)
- find a method for inserting the 80x80 silent fan in the 90x90
internal dock.
- place the new fan on the case with some silicon screws to avoid
vibrations
Which solution do you recommend to me?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english. ;-)


80 mm fans are available. I'd be tempted to buy the best you can get, as small fans are pretty unrelieable things.

I'm on at least number 3 in my Ultra 80 now, but the larger fans are still running.
