My fan is loud, I've just installed a USB-gdrom and DreamPSU and the fan is the only thing that's loud. Do I even need a fan? Because with no GD-drive and a dreampsu installed that has very little heat I'm wondering do I even need one? If so where can I find a very quiet fan for DC? Thanks
I'm not the seller, but I am a satisfied buyer: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dreamcast-Noctua-Fan-Mod-Kit-Fan-not-included-/272992558397? The description has the model number for the correct fan to use with it.
That's a lot of hassle just for a fan. My DC doesn't even get hot anymore now that I changed the psu and no gd rom drive.
That fan is just way too small. I replaced it with a bigger, slower one right outside the original one's vents - it's quieter, but a) still far from silent and b) looks like shit, so don't do that. Btw, if you remove the fan altogether the console will refuse to boot, but if you want to try anyways you could put a simple 555-based "spinning fan simulator" in its place.
