GS324PP is loud as sin, suggestions?
Got one setup today, it's unbearably loud. Customer support is offering to RMA it out of my own pocket with no guarantee that it will get any quieter.
I don't have any acoustic testing equipment, but it sounds like a hair dryer when idling with nothing plugged into it.
I'm thinking to replace the fans maybe, since it doesn't look like firmware can be updated.
Anyone knows what kind of fans would be compatible?

As I wrote in the other thread:
The GS324PP does consume 10...400W and dissipates the equivalent of heat the two fans must be able to push put of the box in any operational state and mounting situation. Noise is always relative to the personal sensitivity. These two fans are undoubted audible, the way the noise is reflected and sometimes amplified (vibrations) by the environment are big factors.
No magic possible 8-/
