Coolermaster DP5-6H51 - Way to make it quieter?

[SDevil33]

Is there any way to make the Coolermaster DP5-6H51 quieter? Possibly change the fan in the HSF itself? Please let me know. Thanks.

Actually the Y.S. Tech fan Coolermaster uses for this HSF is already relatively quiet (compared to other HSF's which AMD also recommends up to 1.2 GHz), but you can easily exchange it with any 60x60x15 fan or (maybe with some more work) 60x60x25 fan.

Btw...another way would be to use it at 7 V instead of 12 V. You have to connect the fan with a 4pin connector from the PSU then and connect it's "+"-wire with the 12V-wire from the PSU and its "-"-wire with the 5V-wire from the PSU.
