Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2/8P Fan Noise

I received this today and after powering it up I was blown away at how loud it is. The mrs will never tolerate this lol and neither will I, it is located in our bedroom so needs to be pretty quiet. The PSU fan seems to be the main culprit, as anyone here replaced it with a Noctua NF-A4x 10mm or 20mm fan and did it make much difference? Only £12 on Amazon, the 20mm version seems to be quieter. I don't want to invalidate the warranty so would plan on powering it by the sata connector, as I will only be putting 1 HD in it.

Hi I'm in the same boat...Please let me know if you ever changed the PSU fan and if it helped?

I have changed it for a Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX and it is a massive difference, the side one is quite noisy so I also changed that to a Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX. There is a good video on youtube on how to do it, it took me no more than 30 mins to do both and that was me taking my time.
