Anyone notice that the chipset fan on the A8N-SLI Deluxe is freaking loud?

Have most of you kept it? Or changed it?

I kept it but put just lowered the rpm to about 5200. It's now virtually
silent and still only a few degrees warmer than when it's spinning at full
tilt.

I replaced it with a Zalman, and added a small noiseless fan to that to
make sure it's really cool.

Did you solder a resistor in line or use a retail fan controller?
