How to make my P3 slot1 pc quiet - help
I have slot 1 P3. There's a heat sink and a fan right on the
cpu. I'm sure it does a good job cooling but the fan makes this buzz sound - not loud but the buzz is annoying. Compared to my old PII w\a huge heat sink and there's only a rear case fan that exhausts air. It not "buzzy" and not annoying. How can I quiet down the P3 ? Can I get a big heat sink like the PII or anything to stop the buzz. Again, at first you'd say the P3 fan is quiet but it has a buzz that is driving me crazy. Thanks. |

Sounds like you need to find another Slot 1 fan/heatsink.
