Tips on CM V850 SFX PSU Fan Swap

[ismahell]

Hello! I have made a fan swap like the one on this post: Cooler Master V850 SFX PSU Fan Swap, using the same adapter and fan in the OP post.

But the fan spins really loud even with the noctua fan, i know its from the PSU because if I stop the fan with an object my PC become silent.
Its like the PSU don't control the fan speed correctly, so I think of connecting the fan on the motherboard and control myself.

What you guys think?

Thanks!

Update:

I have done the mod and control the fan via the software FanControl, based on the GPU temperature and so far so good

The next step would probably be to get some kind of small thermal / temperature sensor - idealy more than just one - you'd attach eg. to the inner and outer side of the PSU casing, maybe also to the fan intake.

Maybe something for Arduino? A quick search brought up quite a few pages. That'd be a nice side project, ie. to create something replicable, so one could use this with other unruly PSU fans, eg. FSP or the notorious Lian Li SFX.
