				Hi, and welcome - is it loud all the time, or just while under a heavy processing load?
 
 
I have 2x Opteron 270 CPUs, and although it isn't silent while idling or just surfing the Net, etc...  It really only gets loud when I have the CPUs maxed out on something like Folding@Home.
 
 
First step would be to check the BIOS for the temperature where the fans react.  I think mine came set in the low 40C range, now I have it at 55C.  So, it just doesn't ramp up the fans as early. |
