should work, 200w is 200w You'll need to make sure that the convertor will actually fir onto the socket in the nas or a adaptor cable will be needed. This is the type of module I was intending to purchase, I'd then feed it with 12vdc direct from the batteries in my ups.

Yeah, I'm struggling to find one that's 24-pin, but you can get a 20-24 converter cable can't you? I reckon this is the best plan, also they're cheap!

it depends on how much current your nas is drawing. How many drives, what speed etc. If the nas is fully loaded it's possible you may need something a little larger than a 200w "brick" since the dc-dc convertor isn't going to be 100% efficient.

Scythe Mini Kaze Ultra 40 x 20 mm Silent Fan is ideal so long as you dont have the thecus in a very hot room running at 100% all the time. Specs on that fan: www.coolerguys.com/840556081869.htmlLooks like that fan puts out 4.86 CFM, compared to the 10.8 CFM of the stock fan. I'm not finding any fans that put out close to 10.8 CFM that are less than 20 dBA (stock is 27.5 dBA), but this fan seems to be more quiet for the same CFM: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835191002

Let me say one thing about SilenX fans: their quality is very poor! Even out of the box they can have problems starting/running. And I've tried many of them and different sizes.
PAPST fans still are one of the best, but sometimes difficult to find the right model because they have so many.

anyone have any success with either the fan replacement or using a different power supply?
sounds like Moi went the route of downgrading the fan (less CFM and less noise). anyone else do this without any problems?

Replacing the fan in the PSU is not that difficult. Just order a 20x20 fan (check measures because i'm not 100% sure) with enough capacity.
A 2 wire fan will do it and it's easy to connect without the need of soldering/cutting/etc.
My powersupply has failed some time ago and I got a replacement PSU from my supplier that came with a more silent fan.

How are you guys checking the temperature of your N5200? I can't find a temperature report anywhere in the web console... I know I must be missing something obvious, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
