    Quoted from PinMonk:

    You CUT a hole in the front of the power supply? This kind of thing belongs in a bad B/W European container pin hack story. Not recommended because it can't be easily undone.

    hello

    why undone ?

    the little fan never works . the big fan rotates slowly and continuously, less than 8 db , 1200 rpm with ultra low noise adaptater .

    it is no longer original but it is effective

    the little fan never works because the big fan evacuates the hot air

    Quoted from Leo13:

    I agree that this is not recommended to damage the original PSU cover, but I would have prefered Stern to have such design instead of a LOUD smaller fan.

    I totally agree

    Quoted from Leo13:

    the big fan sucks air OUT of the PSU and not in, preventing from injecting dust.

    exactly
