hi!

Have someone already tried to run his voodoo5 with the fans disconnected? I'm really getting annoyed with their loudness in my new otherwise silent rig... Maybee remove them and put a bigger heatsink on? Anyone tried?

I wouldn't advise knockout out the fans :/  You probably get away without damage to the chips, but your stability is gonna divebomb !

You could fit new fans easy enough, I just did my Gefore NP whether it will be quiter depends on what fan you pick.

You could probably remove those rediculous thin fans and put on some 40mm CPU fans, which are thicker, spin slower, and move about the same amount of air (due to increased pitch).

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
