FZ1 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Has anyone been able to make modifications to step down the fan? My case is very quiet so I hear it constantly and It's driving me nuts to the point where I'm thinking about throwing an aftermarket cooler on it but I'm not sure that would help a lot. In idle, I can hear it whine and when I start up FCPX, it really starts to hum. I was reading the thread here but AFAIK there is no mac model that uses a 6870 OEM so I am unsure what mods to make. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=265814 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ1 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 BTW - I did try the BIOS flash in this thread but it didn't seem to make a difference. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=227787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZ1 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Well, yeah I can throw money at it. I'd prefer a more elegant software solution. BTW - I have an H100 cooler in my PC and it's far from silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
