Can I remove the power supply fan for an Intel Atom 330??

by teocomi . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

Hello everybody! I just bought a micro-itx MB with an Intel Atom 330. The only PSU I have is a new 550W with a big noisy fan…
Since Atom processors use very little wattage, do you think it’s safe to remove the fan from the power supply?? It sould not get much warm since the low power consumption…
I will have a maximum of 4 HD connected to the PSU as well, and it will be used as NAS and HTPC.

Please also note that the same board also comes out with a 90W fanless (like laptops) power suplly…

Thanks for any suggestion!!
