This question has come up with the fans in the Alphas. They are noisy and there are 11 of them. Are they all important in home use? and can I unplug a few of them to cut down on noise?  Answer DON"T!!

here is why with a scientific study be me     

I have three Alpha machines. All the same equipment inside. I have the American Original that I have gutted and cleaned every square inch of including each fan and every fan blade. I took a kitchen thermometer at the top vent of each machine after they have all been running and playing for one hour. My game room is at 68 degrees and outside it is 45 degrees. No heat vent in room to affect test. I placed the temp probe at the top fan behind the candle. I have all fans plugged in and running.

Attached are the results for the clean American Original. others to follow.

I am going through the process of replacing my fans,as they get older they are getting louder.
I have noticed the noise has been reduced by at least 50% by replacing them.
The sizes are in metric.
The 5/12v power supply takes 50x50x10mm 12volt DC .The 10mm is the thickness and
may be 15mm depending on brand.You will need 2
The 24v power supply also takes  50x50x10mm but could be either 24v or 5v DC depending on brand
You may need 1 or 2
The MPU power supply takes 2, 40x40x20mm 12volt DC
The 2 MPU cooling fans are 40x40x10mm 12volt DC
The Upper Cabinet fan is 80x80x25mm 24v DC
The Cabinet fan on the right side behind the reels is 120x120x25 24v DC

First thing I do when I get any alpha power supply or cabinet is change the fans that don't work, and clean and lube the ones that do.  If you have a dual video card on it, the fan on that also needs to be checked.

Not all fans are the same.  Make sure you replace a fan with one that has the same specs, CFM is the most important spec.  Power in watts or amps is important too, and lastly, rpm which generally goes with CFM.  Just because you replace a fan with the same size doesn't mean it will be the correct fan.

This is especially important for the BB2 CPU case fan switch supplies cool air to the video card and the processor board.
If it ain't broke don't mess with it.....
