In this case the fan hadn't gone out. The fan that was in there was a 24/7 full-speed, server grade fan - very noisy. So I took the internal fan out of the PSU, cut the restrictive fan grill out and did the above. Ran the fan leads in thru the adapter and out thru the back of the PSU case to my fan controller. Worked great.
