After building my computer, I've only had one thing that bothers me. I've got a volcano 7 fan, when it starts up, the fan has a nice loudness and it supposedly is running at 2900 rpm's. But once ive been using it for awhile the fan just gets annoying to me. Running at 5000 rpms. I was just wondering if I could find a fan that runs about as quite as the fans at Best Buy. I've got a 1.3 amd processor.

You could either use a lower speed fan, get a fan speed controll, or change the voltage to the fan you have through a four pin adapter.

Panaflo fans are pretty quiet.
