Quoted from JustEverett:I haven't installed the quiet fan on my ACNC yet, but I did install one on my KISS prem. The only concern I had was the portion where you have to cut the power supply line out of the foam insulation. I'm not sure if the Spooky supply is setup the same way, but the instructions were pretty scary saying, "Don't disturb these two spots (right next to where you had to cut) or your game may not turn back on". That said, all in all it was pretty easy. Just read through the instructions before starting and follow closely. Go slow and be careful.
One last thought, I did the install on a cold day (I'm guessing my basement was 60-65 degrees). When testing it took a LONG time for the power supply to heat up enough to turn on. I played several 4 player games, playing non-stop for almost 45 mins trying to get it to turn on (very close to the 1 hour limit when you should shut the game off). That really freaked me out, but it all worked out in the end. Just a bit nerve racking lol
There's no silicone goo on the Spooky power supplies. Aside from the annoyance of having to loosen the whole circuit board to get it out of the way to remove the fan, it's actually a less fraught install.
The warning is supposed to slow people down in that spot for the Spike 500W power supply. It's not THAT delicate, but it's the one point where you can really screw up the install. It's worked. Zero people have failed the installation to date.
The newer Spike 500W meanwell power supplies seem to have done away with that silicone glob. Stranger Things' power supply doesn't have it.
