NAOMI Fan Noise - Looking for quieter solution

Hi, Is there an alternate fan for NAOMI that is quieter?



In home use is the fan even needed or can I simply disconnect it?



Thanks

If you turn off the main fan on the side, the Naomi will noticeably get hotter to the touch. I would not recommend disabling the exhaust fan under any condition. You should replace it with a newer fan which would naturally be quieter.
