Grumm17812yThese also are the typical blower fans.
You can't replace these with a normal one (or maybe you can by altering the backplate a little i think)
But it may be used to cooldown the lamp too.
Good luck finding one like that who is quiet enough for you. -
if you want it quiet and cool, water cool it, and put a huge ass radiator somewhere.
It's basically moving the heat dissipation somewhere else.
Or modify the case of the projector to put a huge fan on there, let it spin on moderate speed, to not make a lot of noise -
scor38042y@netikras, ask yourself for @thebiochemic's approaches.
Water-cooling allows for a DIY flexibility.
Whereas heat-sinks ergo copper do need less volume.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Cheers

Let's talk fans. I've skimmed through beQuiet and noctua, but couldn't find the type I need. Are there quiet laptop fans out there?
Here's my case. I have an LED projector. As projectors are, it's somewhat loud. Not painfully annoying, but still. I wonder how could I make it quieter.
I had it disassembled to see what fan it has. It looks like an oversized laptop fan. Like 12cm or so.. I was thinking I could buy a silent fan, tear it apart, take its axis with blades and pop it in the original projector fan case. Problem is, I can't find any quiet laptop fans, be it normal size or oversized. Aren't there any? If so - why? Are there other means to quiet a fan like this down? I mean apart from cleaning and oiling - that's already done.
