I cannot imagine that little fan is making enough to be heard over the case
fans? Do a quick search on the newsgroups using google for answers. Wayne "Boudewijn" wrote in message ...

Hello,
You would be surprised to hear how much noise these sort of very small fans make. Just because they are so small they have to spin very fast to achieve any form of cooling, and it's precisely this speed that's responsible for all the noise. On the other hand, a 120mm case fan spins very slowly and is therefore mucgh more quiet. Anyway, the less fans the better Regards, Boudewijn "wayne" wrote in message news:t4fMb.25251$nt4.47773@attbi_s51... I cannot imagine that little fan is making enough to be heard over the case fans?

You may change the active cooling to a passive cooling. I am using the ZM-NB32J on my Gigabyte GA8-IPE1000Pro without any problems. http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/zm-nb47j.htm Udo Kammer
