I got one at Pinfest off @David retro. The difference is amazing.

It's not a hack, it works great for reducing the ghastly noise.

If you're able to change a connector yourself there's much cheaper options out there...

UK Solution for Spike Power Supply quiet fans.

Anyone got a UK solution for the quiet Pin Monk power supply fan replacement. Is there an off the shelf product or is anyone on here swapping the connector to make them compatible? Any advice would be appreciated. Apologies if this has been answered previously. Paul

Am I reading this right, just pull the original fan and solder wires using original plug? Then make it screw on?

Yeah, also you need different screws (slightly larger diameter) to fix it. Can use zip ties if you're feeling adventurous...

There's a little cutting of some gunk holding the wires for the original fan which has to be done carefully, but even as ham-fisted as I am, I managed it safely

Did it on my FF. Much improved but still not whisper quiet.

New harness wire inside the gunk that I sliced

Thanks Chaggers, I saw the Pinside thread on DOY job and had wondered how to deal with the gunk, it seems you've just answered that for me ta

Fitted this today, 15 mins max and what a pleasant difference. Had pinball on all night for ambient lighting, only heard the dog fart over the telly when usually the dog was drowned out by GZ fan
