Will this fan work?

I have an EVGA Hadron Air and the power supply fan in it is extremely noisy.


The fan on the PSU is called Delta FFB0412VHN which is a 12V 0.24A and uses a 2wire power

Delta FFB0412VHN 2-Wire Fan - 40mm Fan


I just bought a Noctua NF-A4x10 (yes I know it is not as thick) which according to specs is 5V 0.05A and has adapter for 2wire power.


My question is:

-Will the Noctua FAN work with the existing wires on the power supply if I replace the Delta FAN?

-If not then how about if I remove the Delta FAN from the PSU and put the Noctua FAN in the PSU (but without using the 2 wire inside the PSU and instead connect the FAN through motherboard power header instead) will the PSU still work (like will it refuse to work if no FAN is detected)?
 
Not sure if the Noctua Fan will work within the PSU but on your second idea, be careful as some PSUs may detect fan failure and trip protection circuitry which prevents the PSU from working.
