Have you opened it up? If you do, take a pic. I am curious if they really put in a 80mm and how they seated it. I did my own mod and its quiet so it is no biggie to me. Just curiosity.

Yeah, I took the lid off and checked it out. It's all racked up at the moment but it's mounted like the old fan just a bigger fan. I don't recall the rubber grommets like the 60mm had but maybe I just didn't notice.

I received mine on Monday and it definitely has a "high-pitched resonance" to it. I did notice that lightly pushing down on the left rear area on top of the unit reduced or eliminated the noise. I suppose having it as the only unit in a 4-space rack doesn't help any either. I don't really notice it at all if I'm playing, even at low volumes, but if the unit is sitting idle in the room I notice it.
After 5 years and after releasing a new model? That's not the most laudable example of listening. I know these guys work hard, and are great, I just think they're a little monomaniacal on the subject of modeling, and everything else suffers at times.
To clear matters up: I just go an Axe FX II and the fan is very quiet. However, I had a friend come over to help me edit because he has had his for longer than me. His first comment was that my fan was very quiet. His fan is a lot louder than mine. I guess the units are not all equipped with exactly the same fan. I'm glad I got a quiet one.
Is this change across the board or as a retrofit by G66 as was reported some time ago? Anyone able to compare the installation to the smaller fan?
To be honest the fan not only irritates me to no end, it create problems with annoying others in creative situations, and that reflects badly on both the Axe and my choice to use it.
I know this subject has been covered a thousand times, but there is a reason for that.

Amen. This is a genuine issue for some of us, and a redesign of the chassis/venting/heat sinking would have obviated the need for retrofits. At this point, there may not be a solution - no fan may be quiet enough and move air enough, given the current chassis design...
