Areca 1882ix-12 replace fan

[Operations]

I have a areca 1882ix-12. The standard fan is a bit loud. So i would like to replace the fan for a
Noctua 40mm Fan - NF-A4x10 FLX.


Anybody who has done that before? I am a bit worried about the black heatsink being in the way.

This areca:

Did you ever replace your ARC-1882ix-12 fan, and if so what did you use?
