Changing a PSU fan.

Done, and still alive!
Turns out that the original fan was actually solderd onto the PSU board. Also, the original fan had only 2 wires. All of my possible replacement fans had 3 wires.
In the end I simply run the cable out of the power supply and plugged it into the motherboard. Cheating, but it works

Thats interesting. I did actually attempt soldering a fan in but had no luck and came to the conclusion it must have been because of the yellow wire which I had not included.
I cant think of what else could have been wrong
The current set up is working ok though, no overheating etc so I think I'll just leave it for now.

Hmm, the original fan was surprisingly a Yate Loon.
I happend to have an old Yate Loon lying around so I figured it would be a good idea to replace it with the same fan. (The reason for the change is that the original fan had developed a clicking noise and was on its way out).
Having said that, they may have been different RPM's so thats possibly the reason.
Anyway, thanks for the support everyone
