380W PSU not enough?

Thx for your helps guys

my case fans are all running at lowest rpm they can, my fan controller can also monitor the temperatures of 4 components at a time. Im pretty sure that my pc does not overheat so i only worry about the noise. If possible, i want to change the psu fan or get another psu.
But can the fan in the psu be replaced by a normal case fan?

Changing the fan in a cheap PSU is not a good way to go. I would recommend getting a good PSU regardless as any cheap PSU might get unstable voltages, overheats and short life with a new fan. Not to mention it might aswell happen with the original fan.

God I forgot the name of the company I sell my PSU's from, they are good low noise output about 10db at full. And they have extra SATA power connectors too

A few days ago, I cut off the 8cm psu fan (38cfm@ 32dB) and replaced it with a Arctic cooling fan pro TC (12.1-31.5 cfm @10-23dB rated <-- not sure it can be that quiet at max speed). My pc has been up and running since then, the fan speed is only around 1900-2000rpm which is very quiet (i believe the noise its making is less than 23dB since its quieter than the 24.4dB cooler master fan) and im very happy with the result

Thank you all for your helps escpecially EMPIRE for his suggestion of changing the fan instead of the PSU.
