Cisco 4500X with Noctua Fans

[nanami04]

Hi Group. First time posting on Reddit. I got a great deal on Cisco C4500X !6-Port switch; giving me the opportunity to finally upgrade my home lab to 10G. As with most Cisco switches, the fans are very loud and I have been researching for a way to either reduce fan speed or replace them with Noctura fans. I have found several YouTube videos doing this mod on other Cisco switches with success. Has anyone done this type of mod for their Cisco switches and thoughts about this if I should move forward with this. Thanks everyone.

Firstly this is cisco community

you can reduce that its normal function - the FAN works based on the design and heat produced by the device.

If you looking low noice, then look for desktip switch and fan less like CX models
