Very nice! I will be interested in purchasing a Sony one IF you can modify the thermistor circuit to blow at a lower threshold -- currently the Nidec has worse power values and cleanliness AFAIK (Unless you can show measurements of how clean it is now?) but the Sony's issue is because it doesn't engage until the system is already overheating.

I understand you wouldn't be able to "Warranty" this work, but I'm too much of a coward to try and fry a PSU.

Let me know if you can negotiate such a thing in the near future. As you plan on fixed pricing/charges across the board, I have no personal issue with your crossposting policy. Proceed!

I think the thermistor only controls the fan curve? In my Sony I just hardwired the fan to the 12v rail, with a Noctua noise reducer (I believe this is just a resistor) in series.

Still basically silent, but no more overheating worries.
