I had a Dell XPS 8500 with a failing motherboard. Rather than just swap out the motherboard, I decided to go for something a little bit more spacious and got a Thermaltake Soprano VO9000, which was advertised as extremely quiet. After I transferred all the internals, hooked everything up and got everything up and running, I've got to say that "quiet" was a very optimistic statement as it's anything but. The bulk of the noise seems like it's coming from the fan on the stock LGA 1155 cooler - any ideas on which one to get to replace it without frying the CPU or breaking the bank?
