I, also, was rather reluctant to disassemble a brand new powersupply, but the link that Orbit posted convinved me to go with the flow. I was fortunate to have made the decision before I hooked anything to my power supply and the matter involved no more than 8 or 10 screws. Go for it! As additional feedback on the ATX spec: I have an older ATX tower that had the PS fan blowing in on a socket 7 P5-166 with heatsink only. It was very warm. I flipped that fan and added a CPU-fan before I was satisfied with that cpu's temperature. I've been tempted to put a couple of additional fans up at the top of my Q500/300a, but my measured temps have not suggested any real need. Recent posts have also mentioned the downside of excess cooling: noise. Cheers, p
