Picked up the new fan today - the result:
Cleaning the "old" part:
Adding new thermopads:
The bad and the (hopefully) good:
Sideview:
Loaded and ready:
Been running the thing for ~1 hour now, temp is stable at 39-40 degree in idle.
Fan speed is running between 0 and 1%??
Tonight I'll take the Silversides up the Korea Strait and we'll see how temps evolve then...

I know! Been bying the crap for the past 25 years
but this time it
is really different.
The heaviest load is by far Silent Hunter and even there, there's a major overhead, so I am confident.
Only thing that I probably will add to the system is a SSD drive once it's down in price (and reliability?).
Cables are already in place for both power and SATA 6...
Thanks for the kind words!
