Hi
Just an update on this little story. Thanks to winter temps, I've been able to unplug the 120mm fan and have only a 92mm rear fan pulling air out, along with the PSU fan.
My PC is reasonably quieter than the previous incarnation and just seems to have a PSU "coil whine" currently raising the sound level above my hoped-for "soft hum".
"Cool & quiet" has become a pleasant hobby!
