Does fliping your heatsink over onto the fan to put put on the ASII stuff possibly damage the fan with preasure?

No....as long as you didn't sit on it or ran it over with your car :)

Seriously, the weight of the heatsink metal is nothing to the hardness of the plastic on the fan.

Oh I mean the actuall fan part that spins. You're probably right. I'm to paranoid about hardware sometimes. :p

If it sounds like a cricket it's defective if it sounds like a dog fart it's because you damaged it.

Hmm...I might have damaged it then because it's a steady loud noise. But the damn ASII website showed it being flipped over to put the dab of the ASII stuff onto it. That god damn site leads people to damage their sh*t! I'm getting tired of all this fan, heat, noise stuff! Computers are to enjoy not go crazy over heat, loudness and so on.

ghetto buck> that's cool. I'm just a schmuck sweating over this stupid stuff:) I'm just anul about all the hardware in my case. I'm starting to think now that it's actually the bottom fan on my Eneramx PSU I just put in today. I can't believe they actually call this model "Whisper." It should be more like "Whistle!"

I understand i'm the same way. Very sensitive ears I guess cause I once had a hard drive that made this high pitched sound that drove me nuts. If you use Win2k or something like rain for 98 that throttles your cpu, your power supply fan should also throttle accordingly. It makes a huge difference in noise between an idle cpu where I can't even here the power supply fan, and a cpu running 100% where I can clearly hear the fan rev up.

It's too bad I can't diable the second PSU fan towards the underneath side through software. I really don't feel like RMAing this back to newegg and spend shipping money and lose %15. I guess I'll either have to open the PSU and cut the wire or live with it. I still can't believe they gave the balls to call this model "Whisper!" Those bastards! :p
