You want silent, stick with larger fan psu's, 120/140mm.
What size are the fans in that OCZ?
Nothing much you can do without opening it up.

, anyway
"Silent" - a load of balls. The fan itself is VERY smooth and well made it can be spund quite fast just by breathing on it...however it runs at nearly 3000rpm does generate a notable amount of noise but luckily at a frequency that doesnt give you a headache. It doesnt get very hot unless its hot in my room so i was wodnering:- How can i lower the fans speed without losing my 3 year warranty and is it possible to use some software for the job. There is no option in my BIOS

Oh wow it does only use a single 80mm, not good IMO.
@ ItsJustAName
I'm sure the fan is thermally controlled.
Is it possible to attach a 120mm fan to the outside of the PSU, the grill side in your case?
Doesn't have to be a high rpm fan, just something that will move more air through the psu.

Although you would think they may have bothered to use a bigger fan ;l
