Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Here are the benefits of this component:
  • Easy installation without replacing the fan.
  • Quiets fan noise by half to two-thirds of the previous sound level.
  • Reduces vibration and wear.
  • Increases fan life.
  • Provides for consistent speed control with controlled voltage drop.
  • Reduces dust buildup.
  • Maintains nearly the same temperature of cooled components. The Noisy Fan
  1. Step 1

    Install the Noisy Fan Quieting Component. This component easily installs on one of the wires going to the fan. It starts the fan at full speed, and then slows the fan speed down slightly to reduce vibration and fan noise. This component has been used successfully on power supply fans, CPU fans and in electronic equipment fans (specifically hubs and routers) since 2002. Benefits of the Noisy Fan Quieting Component include:

    Locate the 2 wires going to the noisy fan. Cut one of the wires and place the ends of this cut wire in each of the included splice connectors.

  2. Step 2

    Place each end of the quieting component in the splice connectors, so that each splice connector has one wire going to the component and one going to the fan.

  3. Step 3

    Using pliers, carefully clamp down on the round portion of the splice connector.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't touch anything in the computer that you don't have to.
  • Make sure that you don't have any static electricity before touching the inside of any computer. You can ground yourself to rid of any static electricity.
