insideout

yeah that's what I was asking about.

yeah so does that mean I can't buy a fan and have to replace the PSU?

okay so i'm a little confused now. Does the PSU also act as the fan as well or is there a fan inside that I don't know about? There's this section of the computer I didn't open because I didn't think it was necessary so I guess that holds the fan?

I don't know how but when I click on "My Computer", my icons are arranged differently from the default way. I included a picture. i want to change it back to the original format but I don't know how to do it (or how i changed it in the first place).

hmm but now if I don't take out that PSU, would I still be able to put in the fan? I thought I was going to replace that PSU. And if I do take it out, would the computer still work?

okay so does that mean that I can't buy the fan I want to buy? Would I have to buy a PSU instead of a fan?

I just wanted to know about the voltage cuz I don't want to buy a fan that didn't work lol. Um i guess i'll buy the quieter one that the other guy recommended. I looked inside my computer and the fan seemed to have so many wires attached to it; is this something an average person can do or does it require someone with computer expertise?

Do fans come in different voltages or are they all the same voltage?

what is a fan controller?

The 120 mm fan has a sound level of 49.5 dBA so that's not very loud isn't it? it's a little bit more than whispering so it shouldn't be that loud right?

so 125 mm is way too much? Is it common for people to use it? I think the noise level is important to me too; exactly how loud would a 125 mm fan be like? would it be as loud as a vacuum cleaner?

Do computers need specific fans to work (like with their voltage) or can you just get any fan that is the right size? I have a Sony Vaio VGC-RC110 and i wanna replace it's fan with this http://www.frozencpu.com/fan-22.html I'm an amateur so I don't want to order it only to find out I didn't know something beforehand so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think that i'll just go with buying a fan. that should solve the problem right? the rest of these solutions seem to be a bit harder (for me). re this http://www.frozencpu.com/fan-22.html When I buy a fan, does it come with the required screws or do I have to buy them separately?

how does this "Peltier Thermoelectric Cooler" work? i have never heard of it before.
