Hi
I bought new RM50 combo on sale. Just couldn't resist.
I think I like it, but will tell after getting some good modules (not found yet).

What bothers me is fan noise. This is real spoiler :(
I swapped fan for new, quieter one. It helped a bit, but noise level still drives me nut.

What if I disconnect cooling fun?
Any experience on doing that, intentionally or accidentally?
 
I slowed down fan speed with a resistor.
Now it almost inaudible.
Original fan is 27CFM. My new Noctua NF-A8 FLX is slowed down to 1200 rpm - 17CFM.

Will see what happens :)

I think the fan is cooling modules, nothing else. But they are not so hot as power tubes. Lower air flow should should work.
