Noisy Inverter Fan.....Chop a Fan Wire/ No?

Question

A while back I bought a new 300 watt PSW inverter off ebay for a $25 winning bid.
Only problem, fan is noisy, and it runs 100% of the time.

Question, if its designed to run 300 watts in 100 deg temps w/ the fan, whats its chances of running 75 watts in 80 deg temps w/o the fan. I just need some good guesses before chopping a fan wire :))

My GoPower 300w SW inverter will not spin the fan at 75 watt load.
Worst case you are out $25. If it is any good it should shut down for over temperature but that could take a toll to continue doing that.

Someone gave me 750W inverter and I used it to power a DirecTV receiver.  I clipped the fan wires and lived happily ever after.
