Does anyone know of a place to buy replacement heatsinks/fans or just
fans for this board. The ones provided sound like airplane propellers
and i would like some fans that are much quieter.

TIA

Why don't you enable the fan quieting option in the Bios. I have set
it to 60c and the fan's spin down to a very quiet level within
minutes.

I am using dual opterons 240's OCed to 1533mhz with Prime95 running on
both and the CPU's never go above 60c with the fans spinning slowly
(quiet).

The only problem I have is that MBM5 won't run with the bios fan speed
setting enabled, however the quiet fans are more important for me.

I would rather have a quieter system without having to do that and
have my cpu temps be higher. Right now they are around 38C and 45-46C
under heavy load.

Can anyone recommend any replacement fans that will fit on these
heatsinks? The sinks are ok but a replacement fan would do the trick
nicely since it doesn't look like i can replace the sinks.
