After a Processor Failure, and having to get a new Processor/Motherboard
got a Arctic Cooler 13 Processor Fan and its now practically silent.

Truth is that if you want a quiet machine its worth spening an extra £25 on
from day one and not trying to retro fit it.

I'm not blaming the processor failure on the new PSU plus Paxmate but it
could be the that the noisy fan was also faulty....
