    I just now installed one of these into my JP Pro as the stock fan sounded like I was waiting for a small private plane to leave the runway at my local airport.

    PinMonk 's insructions are super clear and helpful. When moving the stock fans wire harness out of "the goop", I used an extended pair of small needle nose pliers (orange handled ones at HF) to pull on the goo while using my free hand to guide the wire harness through and around the goo. Super simple with no risk of damaging on board components to the power supply.

    If you do this and reinstall in a "cold game" (game has sat overnight without being played) - be prepared to wait for the test moment a solid 35-40 minutes. I had a torn piece of a tissue on the box, and I waited easily that long with my living room at 70 degrees. Won't deny, I was starting to get a tiny bit nervous, but the product activated and did exactly as described. It vented the power supply box and turned off once the job was complete.

    GREAT product - highly recommend!
