So at stock speed 3.5 the fan wasn't to loud so I overclocked to 4.4 which made it pretty loud under a heavy load so my question is has anyone seen or heard of any one UC pass 2.8 (which I'm running) its pretty quiet and not a big loss in performance besides start up being a tad bit slower.

So your question is has anyone heard of anyone underclocking their cpu? No I haven't but people do, do it.

I have underclocked CPU's in the past, and to be frank, I found that better cooling solutions are far more effective long term. For example, in my media center runs an AMD 955, initially, I had underclocked it to cut back on noise, and found that it didn't quite have enough power at 2.6Ghz to encode multiple video streams at once. I swapped out to a ThermalTake Blue Orb, and managed to increase my clocks to 3.6Ghz while keeping my noise down lower than the UC...
