I am running an AMD Athlon XP 2000+
I think it is running at either 1.6 or 1.8 Ghz
In an effort to reduce noise, I removed the
factory fan/heatsink and replaced it with a
"Cooler Master X Dream II" which claims to
have less than 24dBA of noise.
I want to reduce the noise from my fan a
bit further.
The Zalman CMSP7000 is attractive and
cheap and quiet, but my CPU sits only two
inches below my power supply.
The fan on my CPU has three wires.
1. +5v
2. +12v
3. gnd
My question...
If I add a resistor in series with the +12v line,
would that reduce the fan speed?
Anybody know for certain?
Tnx,
Charles
