Was a bit loud… here’s the pictures step by step to replacing with a Noctua.
It’s quiet now.
Things were running a bit warm so I took off the PWM part of the Noctua (thanks NP for the suggestion).
I did not want to modify the fan cable itself. Fortunately, every Noctua I’ve bought comes with an extension cable so I modified the extender itself so as to preserve the value of my PWM Noctua.
Before and after pictures of pulling the blue wire.
