RE: Got a noisy fan in your PC

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Hth!

To their credit the Intel P4's seem to need a little less agressive
cooling
than Athlon XP's, also, I think (think!) Dell have started using
acoustic
matting inside their cases.. I know some OC places sell the stuff: that
would dampen the sound down, without affecting airflow too much!

Thanks for the advice Ian. I ended up not buying as the total with
shipping
was going to be 76 Euros.. Way to much !!

It must be possible to do something as SWMBO's sister bought a new Dell
PC
1.8Ghz and when we first switched it ON I thought something was wrong as
I
could not hear the fan but it turns out to be very very quiet.

Dave..
