I want to replace my PSU fan, however the new fan is way too high rpm at 12v.

I wonder if it's possible put a resistor between Fan and PSU?
I know this can be done for motherboard, not sure about PSU?

but is it recommended?

I know it's perfectly fine put resistor between Mobo and a Fan, don't know if the same applies to PSU and Fan?
