NAOMI Fan Noise - Looking for quieter solution

OldFoo · Post by **OldFoo** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 12:34 am

Hi, Is there an alternate fan for NAOMI that is quieter?

In home use is the fan even needed or can I simply disconnect it?

Thanks

If you turn off the main fan on the side, the Naomi will noticeably get hotter to the touch. I would not recommend disabling the exhaust fan under any condition. You should replace it with a newer fan which would naturally be quieter.

Got my new fan and installed it.

Reduced noise by about %40 if I had too guess.
