Quick summary.
This is a 7 year old power supply that has been used in a personal computer system under fairly low loads. As such, it's in great shape except for the cooling fan that has gotten noisy at low speeds over the year.
I was contemplating replacing the PSU as it uses a fairly uncommon 135 mm fan but in the end; found a solution. Also, it uses a psu standard 2 pin power adapter which is equally uncommon.
120 mm Bequiet Silent wings fan -1100 pwm
3d printed mount adapters (can use zip ties I suppose)
The fan was able to be mounted in the PSU and I ran the power /control cable out the back with the non-modular power lines to be controlled by a motherboard fan header.
Quieter and better than before.
I don't mind paying for upgrades but this psu still seems to be in excellent shape otherwise and it would be a shame to discard.
Just putting this knowledge out there in case...
