Quieter FOP32/FOP38

[phsstpok]

I don't own one but I thought about getting one until I heard how loud the FOP38 is.

Here is a <A HREF="http://www.ocshoot.com/foprocks.htm" target="_new">tip</A> to make your FOP32 or FOP38 quieter.

Yes but I never thought about switching to an 80mm fan. They move just as much air as a Delta with a lot less noise.

Make a sheet aluminum funnel that reduces the size from 80 to 60MM, mount it in place of the fan, and mount the larger fan to it. That should help direct the air into the heatsink where it is needed.

Suicide is painless...........

Use the largest heatsink that will fir on your mobo and then use a quieter fan.
