I've had it with the freakin noise... I want cooling but Damn!. This Sat. AM I was lookin for cotton for my ears when I remember reading something about dropping the voltage to +7vdc.. Huh? Doh! It is really quite simple, You have to use one of those PS/4 to 3 pin fan adapters remove the ground from the 12 volt fan and move it to the +5v side. BAM ! 7 volts and it's quiet... I have a PAL6035 with the 38cfm fan... The temp is in the hi 30's, at the time 37.5 and I can live with that. I want to make a switching unit that I can go from 7v to say 10v to 12v for those times when it's damn the noise we want cool.. remember do not plug this adapter into any other periphreal...
