Can quiten a Dell server?

Dear Sirs'

I have the unfortunate problem of having to do a lot of work on a Dell server. It's so noisey that I have to wear wax wear plugs and even that drives me nuts.

If their a solution too this by replacing the fans? I thought of a Ras connection but would prefer to hit the hardware.

It's a Dell poweredge 1950

So I should Gooogle fans for a dell 1950?
What is room temp? 70 degrees is preferred.  If not fans will try to make it 70 degrees
That will probably yield lots of results for genuine/authentic/factory fans for a 1950.

Try "fans 1950 mod quiet"

Although I was once a dab hand at soldering "once de soldered all the memory chips on an early IBM XT and replaced them with new. I rendered it worthless. Lol

Multilayered circuits wasn't taught at college.

It sounds to me that I need explicit instructions to whom I should purchase from etc. So I don’t have to think a great deal. Thinking these days a panic I hope you don’t mind.
