[QUOTE="SuB8HaVeN, post: 262472, member: 20214"] Well, I've been doing some research. The Thermaltake fan I bought is very quiet, even at the full 12V; much, much quieter than stock. The only problem is that with the aftermarket fan, the CPU heats up a heck of a lot. It idles at about 58C and will go to about 62C under load, way hotter than any other CPU I've ever dealt with. I'm going to try and put the stock fan (I have the Apple OEM "quiet" fan that came with my new PSU) back in and see what kind of temperatures I get and go from there. If they both keep it at the same temperature there's no sense in using the much nosier stock fan. [/QUOTE]
