Possible to mod the 120mm zalman cooler?

I have one of those 120mm coolers...7700 I believe - it's the round one. Does anyone know if I can change the 120 mm fan on it?

It's the loudest thing in my case right now...and it's supposed to be a quite cooler heh.

The HS itself is pretty good, Zalman just likes to use noisy fans with their products. 🙁

Here's a few requisite links to SPCR (wrt the fan swap mod).
 
I thought the 7700 was advertised to be silent in low-speed mode? How loud is your setup?

Is your BIOS configured to vary the CPU fan speed as CPU temps change or is it always running at 12V. For this to work it needs to be plugged into the CPU fan header and not some other header on the mobo. If you're using another header or plugging it into on of the PSU's molex connectors, it's probably running full-speed all the time.

If it's plugged into the correct header and it's running at high speed because your CPU is hot, you might be stuck.

BIOS is not setup to do that so it is running at 12V. I doubt my CPU is too hot though it is a 4400+ X2.


 
It's possible, but rather lacking in scope, now modding the 9500 with a 120mm fan, that takes cojones!

SPCR is the place to look for that.
