| 18422 | 2001-09-08 03:14:00 | Hi, IS the sound from your computer from cooling fans only? If so, can i get a quieter cpu cooling fan for an athlon 900 (200mhzfsb) or is this dangerous. I want a quieter fan that will do the same job. Thankyou for your help guys. |

If you change the CPU fan to a quieter one, you will probably need to get a new heatsink as well. I've seen some heatsinks that have no fan at all, and would work with your system (no idea where you would get them from though). Another big noise maker would be your hdd. |
