hmm... now that i think of it, i don't think my case fans were on when
i lost the processor. Thats 6 80mm fans (4 frontal, 2 rear) that were
not running at the time of failure. They make a lot of noise, as you
have most likely figured, so i had them turned off a good portion of
the time. perhaps... perhaps i should consider leaving them on all the
time. As i have said: too much noise = higher music volume.
