Can i theoretically replace the old loud stock wii u fan with something like this noctua fan https://noctua.at/en/products/fan/nf-a4x10-5v
Wait... The Wii U has a loud fan? i had mine since launch and bruh's quieter than a Youtuber after grooming allegations.

Yep totally agree had my WiiU since the first day they came out. Use it nearly every day and have never once heard the fan make a noise of any sort.

To OP: I've never heard my Wii U's fan make any noise. Maybe your fan is faulty? Maybe you need to clean it and change the thermal pads? (I don't know if the Wii U uses thermal paste like the Switch, or thermal pads like the original Wii...)
Only when it's really cold my Wii U decides to do some very weird sounds at startup, but usually it's normal, maybe that's what's causing it
The fan is a little nonstandard. Besides GND it has a constant 5V supply and one signal to make it slower in eco mode. It has no tacho signal. So if you hook up another fan make sure to only connect the 5V and GND and not the tacho signal or you might break something.
That will also make it run full speed in eco mode

It's probably the disc drive which you hear on startup
Do you think if i soldered the actual noctua blade to the old connector and put it in the old bearing in the wii us fan cause i think noctua has that size

@RedColoredStars, Cam rips are by far the worst. You can hear children screaming, see shadows, and those gambling scam ads.
