tweaking cooling fans


The fans in my pro amps make too much noise.My thought is to put inline with the 24vdc a potentiometer to reduce voltage and slow the fans down.I have used the amps with the fan disconnected but they get warm to the touch,not hot.I would like a nice breeze across the heatsinks.I picked up a bunch of 3.5k ohm potentiameters.Your thoughts.

Well I picked up a bunch of potentiometers (3.5kohms).They do a fine job.If I slow them too much they load up.From my seating position they are almost silent.Thanx guys,
