Need replacement fan recommendations for PSU

I have a Sparkle FSP-400GN 400W PSU. The fan is pretty loud. Has anyone replaced a fan in their PSU before? If so, any recommendations?
 
I replaced the fan in my generic PSU with an 80mm Panaflow L1A. It'sn prety easy, pull out the old fan, cut off the connector, soldier it onto the new fan, and oput it in. Just don't go touching the capacitators.
 
I have that exact same power supply, and I couldn't take the noise of the stock fan, so I switched it out with a Low Speed Adda fan. It pushes around 26CFM at 22dB, and it's been working great. Replacing the fan in that PSU is really easy because of the way it's laid out. If you have any questions about doing it, then feel free to PM me.
 
J3anyus,
I have the same power supply, and find the fan quite noisy... What did you do to change yours out? Anything different then what Snowpunk98 did in his link?

It is as easy as cutting out the old fan and reconnecting the new fan to the left over wires. There shouldn't be much of a decision to make. Red goes to red, black goes to black. Just watch out for the capacitors.
