How do you make a hsf quieter?

[krwell]

Hey guys I'm trying to make my hsf quieter. Any good mods I can do to it?

 

[THUGSROOK]

mod the wiring for 7v or 5v operation

or buy a fan speed selector thingy

Fan speed regulator is definately the easiest one. If you have a high rpm fan sometimes buying an 80mm fan with low (2000-2500rpm) might be as cheap as getting a fan speed regulator.

What kind of heatsink and CPU do you have? In order to succeed with creating a quiet hsf solution you need to have a good heatsink to compensate for the loss in the active cooling the fan provides. This of course needs to put into context with which CPU you have since... faster cpu = more need for cooling.
