This week on my Plex server build...
I determined that the fan that came with the Akasa Nero LX was too loud, so I swapped it out for one of my Arctic F12 fans.
This fan not only spins slower, but it's nearly silent and moves more air.
The stock mounting hardware proved to be really annoying, so I used a technique from this thread, and it was much easier.
CPU temperatures while encoding video are about the same, but it's much quieter now.
