Hey Guys,

I bought a Netgear XS712T switch and discovered it is far louder than I expected. I have read on whalnetwork.com about other changing the fans out for Noctua 40mm counterparts however the detail around the process is not documented.

Has anyone here had experience with this? If so:
Does this require the breaking of any seals that void warranty?
Are there any catches around requiring specific fans or connectors?
Any residual issues such as fan alerts in logs, beeping etc?

Thanks,

Adam
