hi everyone. i need to change the noisy power supply fan on my nvr and seen a few suggestions for Noctua NF-A4x20 5V for the case and the 10mm one for the psu. do i need the 3 pin ones or the 4 pin with PWM?
Dahua 4208 nvr fan change

It's indeed very noisy. Let us no if it works
You need a 12v indeed and if you buy Noctua you get one or two silencers which make the fans spin slower. It's definitely not quiet after this upgrade as the design of the case implies fan noise but it is an improvement:
Be sure to measure + and - as mine were reversed on my Dahua NVR

Do I need the 3 pin one or 4 pin with PWM? I was thinking of cutting the grill off the PSU to try and reduce the noise as well. At the moment I e just got the case off the NVR and it's not that loud

Does the fan give the motherboard enough cooling?
when i just replaced the fan i noticed the housing was coole than before. But i have to admit i havent measured the temperature of the chips on the board etc.i swapped the fan more than a month ago and it has been running fine since, even after adding a other harddisk.

Great, mine sounds like a jetplane. Maybe i'll change the fan also
