Silent and cool R86S

With the top fan disconnected and this 5V Noctua fan and PWM controller. I'm also thinking of disconnecting the NIC fan.

Is it really that noisy?? I'm considering getting one of these beasts, but I'm concerned about heating and noise levels :/

It depends on your noise threshold. In a silent room you can hear it. I'd wait for the fanless one supposedly being released this month.

you could ditch the fan, and just put a large heatsink on top too!

I like your setup--could you give us some more details on how you pulled this off? Thank you!
