Loophole Registered: 08/28/05 Posts: 32	Hi All I was wondering if there is a way to easily reduce the noise of the fan in my GF's Emac? its MORE noisy than my stock QS and so much so that while watching movies two rooms away I can hear it during the quieter bits This is REALLY getting on my nerves. Thanx for any ideas/help Loophole BTW its a 2001 1Ghz ATI emac.
