I think mines 5500 RPM also, but thats on the processor.

The front/rear case fans are just the chitty cheap case ones...

My brother used to have this one that literally sounded like a vacuum cleaner.
That was my previous fan :) 5500RPM anyone? Moved a crapload of air, that's for sure. The wall behind my computer was covered with dust after a few months.

Most fans have their loudness rating on them, don't forget to look at that. The quietest that I've seen are 20dB ones.

or go to FrozenCPU.COM they have a huge selection of Fans and Heatsinks... Ive always liked using them, they ship fast :thumbsup

if you want to keep the sink and replace the fan, go to newegg.com and find the size you need in a case fan that has thermally controlled speed.
that way when ou don't need a noisy, fast fan, it throttles down to a slower speed.
I use one on my CPU and it runs at about 800rpm uner normal use.

Can you buy just the fan? Or do you have to buy all new heatsinks too? Seems like everywhere I look, has the whole package.

I bought an HSF combo. Huge one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835118019
Works great, isn't loud (I came from this ridiculous fan, so nothing's loud now :) ). I can touch the fins with my hand because they don't get over 75 deg. Fahrenheit, according to my BIOS temp.

literally you can remove both sides of your pc's enclosure if you wanted to. it wouldnt fix the fan but it would allow for more air to pass through, which should in turn decrease the fans usage!

you probably know this but turn your PC off as much as possible until you replace it to avoid frying the processor. trust me, thats not fun.
