There must be some new definition of the word "silent" that I'm not yet
familiar with !

....built gorgeous, (though I say it myself ...nobody else will), skt 940
based midi tower out of the cheapest/half decent spec. parts I could find,
and put a 80mm to 70/60mm? adapter on old spare AM2 heatsink - and an AKASA
4 blue LED "open frame" 4 wire PWM fan on it :-)
....Prod pwr up button - JET WHINE ...for a couple of seconds until bios gets
going and initiates target fan speed to "slow" whereupon aforementioned cpu
fan decreases speed to a much reduced whine but, similar to that of a
vacuum cleaner. ....oh well better than a jet fighter I s'pose. Where
have all the Papst fans gone ?

regards, Richard

You're Welcome.

I've used QuietPC for fans and fan mounts and, while not cheep, they
have always worked out for me.

Sounds like the new NEC desktops I roll out at work, horrible fan noise
when booting or overheating.
If you value your long term hearing abilities, I suggest moving onto
passive (office work levels) or liquid cooling (all purpose high end).
