Is there any software out there that reduces cpu fan speed?

use a baybus or rheobus

It's not possible. Reducing fan speed is accomplished by reducing the amount of electricity the fan is receiving. There is no software that can change how much electricity is going through your components, thus there is no software that can reduce your fan speed. Try a rheostat or the 7 volt trick (PM me if you need more info on either).

Not necessarily true. Certain monitoring chips (the chip that allows you to monitor fan speeds, CPU temp, etc) allow for dynamic control of CPU fan speed. This was possible with my old Abit BM6 motherboard, for example. I had a software package that monitor CPU temp, and adjusted fan speed accordingly so that the minimum necessary amount of noise was generated. There was at least one other such software package, that allowed for selection of a certain fan speed at boot time.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the monitor chipset that was used on the BM6, nor do I remember the name of the software packages. But it is at least possible...

I'd have to say your best bet is to get some sort of fan rheostat, and control your fan speed manually.

no that I know of

ASUS PC Probe uses software to control the CPU fan speed.

Yes PC-Probe has the option but it still doesn't work if the motherboard doesn't support it
