    I took out my case fans and CPU is still cooler than before!

    My case fans are extremely high CFM so they pump a lot of air through the case. They cool it real well. But with such cooling came a high price: noise. In fact, the noise level was so high that I decided to disconnect the fans and see how hot my CPU would get. I also installed a program called CPU Idle Pro which does wonders! I highly recommend that everyone downloads it! (just search for it on the web). I don't mean for my message to sound like an advertisement but that program really does wonders. Before I took out my fans I was running at ~42-46 degrees celsius idle.. now it's around 35 degrees.. Without my 2 huge fans on the side..

    quick question though, anyone know any free cpu idle cooler programs? this one forces you to pay $30 after 30 days and that's too much to pay in my opinion.

    WPCREDIT is another good software cooler. I use it on my AXP.
