Is this possible, or must I only replace it with the exact same stock model that comes with the Dell PC?
The case fan is 92mm, and connects to a 3-pin hole on the motherboard. It is regulated by temperature on my motherboard (TMPIN1) and is a PWM fan.
However, it does get pretty noisy when it ramps up to 100% when I am playing something like the Witcher 3. Even when at idle, the noise is noticeable. I'm not 100% sure, but it does seem like over the past 3.5 years, the fan has gotten noisier.
So my plan is to replace it with a 92mm fan from the likes of Arctic or Cooler Master or Noctua which are apparently much quieter...but before I pull the trigger I need some confirmation from here. On the Dell forums I haven't got a reply in days.
Just to confirm, if this is indeed possible, will the new fan be able to be controlled by the TMPIN1 temperature, just as the stock Dell case fan is controlled?
Thanks!
