No, no, not the wife :twisted:
I think my biggest culprit of noise right now is the little CPU cooler I have. Now I don't generate a lot of heat and it's only a Duron 800 (I'm so behind ....ah bills, mortgage etc...) but it's driving me mad.
So right now I'm looking at the volcano 9 with smart fan 2 (has 3 options: 1...full speed ahead! 2. variable through software and hardware sensing (not my favorite option becuase I suspect the fan will be annoying winding up and winding down. 3. Includes a lead with a little poteniometer to adjust fan speed down to 1300 RPM. http://www.thermaltake.com/products/heatsink/v9.htm
I guess another option is to get a decent heatsink like:
http://www.thermalright.com/slk800.html or the AX7 and a 80mm fan like the Panaflow (If I can even find that locally?????? Just where do you find those Panaflow thing-a-ma-jiggies anyways?
What are other people doing? Let me know...course I play games but the majority of what I do is non-taxing but occasionally I like Need for Speed like the next guy.
Any suggestions?
