Silverstone FX350-G fan replacement

[MlonEusk]

I'm thinking about buying this psu, does anyone knows the max pcie wattage?
It has a 6 pin connector but if I use an 8 pin convertor will it handle 200w gpu?

Upping with another question - what about replacing with the 20mm Noctua A4x20? Would that one be more appropriate? It does have higher CFM than the stock one, but is it really the static pressure 3 times (even for A4x20) lower?

40x20 fan dont fit into that PSU, only 40x15 but in very rare, I cant find appropriate( I was installed 40x10 and add tape in gap)

Of course with some modding - I don't think 5mm protrusion will be hard to solve.
But I read somewhere for some PSU that are quite picky when you cut their fan off, so I will see.

Delta AFB0412MB is the answer.

Same airflow specs as the original. Extremely quiet in comparison

A great find! I went through many online catalogues to find that Delta AFB0412LB-R00 I am using currently (again, DigiKey is amazing).
Pity, that at the time I havent find Yours.
Just 6db more for whole 1000rpm, its a good trade off.
How does it work for You? My 412LB actually can be heard, after 10 minutes of usage due to aggressive fan curve silverstone preset.
Did You keep the fan as an exhaust?

Hello, Must i change the Polarity with this Fan roo?

polarity was correct, no need to change for me.

kept as exhaust. it can be heard but it isn't an offensive pitch at all. much much quieter than the original jet engine

The fan polarity being reverse is because silverstone decided to install the fan backwards. Your guess would be as good as mine as to why, I suppose it's to show the label of the fan from the outside of the unit. The placement and way it's wired does draw cool air in. Perfect orientation in my SFF SGPC K39. Draws air in from the bottom of the pc and exhausts it out the top without needing additional case fans, which would. . . add noise.

I tried to remove excess noise by mounting the psu with rubber washers. It reduces it nominally, 1-2db. If i can find something suitable I want to place a thin rubber sheet under where it mounts in my case. Still i measured 51.7db at 18 inches from my case.

The other benefits, 80+gold and total wattage, of the PSU outweighed the noise level for me. Many factors can reduce how loud a computer is and how tolerable that noise is. If you are concerned about the noise level first measure how loud your air conditioning unit is and gauge from that SPL.

A big factor it seems many people are missing is that the fan connects with two wires, so it's got power and ground, there is no control within the psu over when to turn on the fan unless silverstone buried it deeper in the control boards which I think is unlikely.
