Hi

I use a UPS and to quieten the internal fans I built a box to put it in, that quietened the fans a treat but the only problem is that the UPS gets a little too hot for my liking, so, I bought a 120 X 120mm fan to cool the UPS down, now the UPS runs very cool but the extra noise from the new fan is more noisy than before I built the case.

What I would like to know, does anyone know of a mains powered thermal switch that I could mount on the UPS so that the fan does not operate all the time, before the fan noise drives me bonkers.
