Hey gang, i just recently moved my hp m1090n into an antec p180b, which is a nice quiet case, but now i can hear my cpu cooler SCREAMING over everything else, and it's OBNOXIOUS!
Anyways, i tried using speedfan to quiet it down some, but if i turned the fans down below 60% or so, my temps were QUICKLY climbing over 80 degrees, and making their way to 90!
So apparently turning fan speed down is NOT an option with the stock cooler.
Does anyone know a QUIET aircooler than can keep this POS cool?
I'm starting to understand why intel pulled this chip, and went back to 3.2 for the prescotts, it's HOT!
I don't have any control over my multipliers or FSB, either, so down-tuning it is not an option, either.
Anyone have a solution for me? I really don't want to invest in water cooling, cause some time this year i'm going to get a quad, but just want this computer to be quiet in the meantime, so i'm not looking to spend TOO much money on it.
Cheap, quiet, cool, anything out there?
