Taking my mind off things since I have a cold, so just took a few minutes to document a fan update...Noise went from 67-68 dB to about 54 dB... I did not check CFM so I am not sure if it was impacted or improved, But I did take the temperature and it went down a little under load about 4 degrees Fahrenheit ...

imho it would make a nice youtube tutorial.

You can use the stills and do a voice over as the slides change.

Since Amazon jacked up the price to retail on the 24 port V7 Managed POE+ switch, I have been thinking of getting the V7 16-Port Unmanaged POE+ switch instead, Right now, it's only $111.00 and I don't really need to manage anything. If it's really that loud, I may need to do what you did with the fan. Thanks for this posting and documentation. Very helpful.

Why it is 54dB, since one fan is only 17.9dB?

Not sure , that’s the reading from one fan, in the v7...the other was turned off(unplugged)..
Perhaps the air holes are noisier ?

If it would be mine, I would cut out the factory "grill" and add one of those shiny wire grills.
I would even add a dust filter, at the intake.

You did a great job documenting this task. I have not seen any of those analog VOM or Radio Snack sound meter for a long while. Kudos!
