cpu fan noise

[cupcake]

had a good look at what is making all the noise in the new comp..
found out its the cpu fan thats doing 90% of the noise.
( i unpluged both hd and dvd drive, stoped the power supply fan and found
that the cpu fan was loud as)

my cpu is P4 1mb HT 800mhz...
the standard fan is 0.44A

is there a way to reduce that noise..
water cooler will be my last option...

That is a Prescot CPU, nicknamed "PrescHOT".

the standard fan is 0.44A

It needs to be, they output up to and beyond 100 Watts of heat.

Larger heatsink and fan.

It's an option.
