I’m looking to upgrade my Wii fan, as it’s getting very loud, and have found this Nocturna fan (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NF-A4x10-5V-3-Pin-Premium/dp/B00NEMGCIA/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=WI8U3SW0UTCO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1TJIHJsMwNxmBnvaOUBKbc62fn1mmb5WDla4gLJWLBfKnq2MuYftz66-KBjtn2Q3qLk-KbdG5FI_FgWqANnIesjq1iwIcR2DoPIrkOrhy5-DLtFeIZAjY7QjuuXHwJYXtsj-YPBO7slz-3PDZWZIB3AuBWUGtMgT4aU67DpTvAXu0KrjmUQym-K-FKFk7BcB1kcnjPue7_0fyG4UXq6JGw.J_9hS82zx0ulM8eY6Kkho6EH1bEKS2El83axhaSLtWM&dib_tag=se&keywords=noctua+40mm+5v&qid=1711974124&sprefix=nocturna+,aps,651&sr=8-2), however, it says it uses 0.05A, whereas according to this post (https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-fan.238844/) the Wii fan uses 0.03. Would it be safe to use the nocturna fan, and if not, what are some high quality silent Wii fan replacements? Sorry if I’m being a bit of an idiot, it’s my first time doing anything like this.

Amperage and voltage are fine within 20% more than the device utilizes. I believe it won't be a problem.

Are you sure it's your fan? I've had my Wii since 2008 and its fan doesn't make any noise.

    I went to auction at a mom/pops video game store few months ago that was closing, and bought 11 slims for $200, 1 was DOA but 10 work fine. so hella deal. Already rgh3'ed 8 of them. But most younger kids don't even want anymore, unless it plays stupid "fortnight", or newer shit.
