Hi all -looking to silence my network config.
It is the GS728TP from Netgear - Gigabit, managed POE switch.
Everything works well enough (although web management slow as sludge).
However, the included 40mm fans are very noisy. I have purchased some quieter ones but on installing them they did not spin up at all - any ideas?
I tried the replacement fans in two and 3 pin mode and none of them would fire up either. Do i have to rewire the cables?
Currently running with just one fan, but it is still very loud so thinking of pulling both out.
My options in preference:
a) Install two quiet 40mm fans and get them spinning
b) Pull the noisy fan and run it passively (14ports used, not even 10W POE drawn).
c) Get a fanless managed switch and a fanless dumb POE switch.
What do you guys recommend? Thanks.
