Fitting a different fan to the sunbeam CPU cooler ?

I am thinking about getting one of these and may want to change the fan to use a noctua 120mm - is it easy to do ? - from the picture, it looks to have a wire clip, so seems easy. I am assuming the standard fan will be slightly noisier than the noctua, or am I being silly. I hate computer noise and currently have an arctic freezer with the noctua fan attached, running at slow speed which is fine, but as summer comes, the ambient temperature will rise to upper 30's, so want a little more...
Any advice appreciated - cheers !
Steve

yep you just use the clips provided and use a different fan

As said you just unclip the current fan and clip the new one in, nice and simple

Cool !
Thanks for that.
Any further ideas about the standard fan - I could always use the Noctua fan on the case if the standard fan is quiet enough..

Standard fan is bearly audable to be honest, even at full whack
