I bought this(http://www.xgbox.com/) nice looking fanless psu recently. I was hoping this psu would be really really quiet(off course, it's a fanless psu). The truth is that there is a fan inside kicks in when the psu temperature gets high. This fan is running pretty much all the time, and pretty noisy. I would like to replace the fan with less noisy one, but the problem is the size of this fan is 80x20mm. I don't find any fan with this size. Is there any 80x20mm quiet fan out there?

Summary: The fan is supposed to run slow or not at all...it's called "Antec Low Noise Technology". It's a feature built into many Antec PSUs. Here's the description: "This technology is a new approach that ach...
