is it possible to reduce the rpm of a cpu fan ?

[ZL1]

Hi

I was wondering if its possible to reduce the rpm of a cpu fan, its probably not, but I thought Id ask anyway since my fan is giving me a mad headache (7300rpm )

also anyone know what is the noise rating on a fan that comes in the retail box of a amd xp cpu ?



Thanks

Purchase one of these to control the speed of the CPU fan: Fanmate

Check modding sites for simple rheobus fan controllers...they're a lot cheaper than the ones other fan controllers like vantec makes.
