No disrespect meant to vireland' but I just want to show the doubters that this has been an issue and this fix has been done for a few years:

I did this on my GoT and never had any issues.
My new fan is on the way!
Quoted from PinMonk:That backbox fan mod is a waste of time, IMO. Fix the problem at the source (the power supply) and if the power supply is over 122 degrees, the fan will just stay on longer. You can't hear it anymore once it's replaced, so who cares?
You obviously didn't read the entire thread which is a common problem on this forum. LOL It's even a thread you posted in.

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:I am using this fan adapter

and removed the lower cover of the power supply. I used aluminum tape to cover the hole left in the top cover where the old fan was. I plugged the new fan into the 12 volt accessory board so it runs continuously. It is very,very quiet at full speed and if you use the included low noise adapter impossible to hear. I can feel air blowing out from the top of the unit and I feel there is excellent cooling considering my experience building computers. There is no electrical interference from running with the lower cover off as it appears to be there only to stop prying fingers from possibly getting shocked. No more noise from the fan and great cooling.
Hmmm...a $6 fan that does the job and looks factory or $27 in parts and a game that is bastardized?
I went with the $6 fan. 
Quoted from PinMonk:NOTE: If you don't want to splice this in, you can get the connector and contacts to crimp to make a factory-look with these Digikey parts:

These links do not work properly for me. Maybe you could just post the part numbers?
