In my never-ending struggle to silence my pc, I've come across another obstacle, my Chaintech AA6800. I installed an NV Silencer 5 about 3 months ago, and while it cools exceptionally, with 41C ambient temps and 60C load, it is now decidedly the noisiest thing in my case. My tower sits on my desk less than 2 feet from my head, so I guess I'm sensitive to any noise it makes. I tried using Gainward's Expertool to slow the fan down, which it did, and works flawlessly in that respect. However, at 50% power, the fan still makes audible motor noise, and is getting more annoying as the days pass.
What I'm wondering is, is there any way to quiet this down further? Possibly a better cooling solution? I am upgrading my mobo and CPU this weekend, so that would probably be a good time to do any necessary work on the card.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
