Eardops?
Or you can put It in a case.

Yeah, I've got my eyes on a LianLi PC6070 (comes with dampening mats), but it's pretty expensive.

I've got the same. From the moment on the CPU starts working (eg opening some file) I hear a higher pitched sound. When his work is done, it stops or drops very much...

Yeah, I checked my other IS7 + P4C rig: same sound.

Bloody annoying, isn't it? : /

The P4C will be replaced by a Via Epia system this weekend... including hard disk and cd-rom, it drains about 50-75W. Silence at last.

put that PC in a case and that will be gone!

P4C => Epia.
Owke I see the use of EPIA, love to get one (some) myself, but isn't this like going back to the stoneage.

No, the older C3's used to be really, really slow (comparable to P2 400mhz), but the new Nehemiah core isn't that bad. They made a few changes like SSE and DDR support, and now it's comparable to a high end P3 system.

For what I will use it (programming/movies/internet on linux) it is fast enough.

Remember, i've got a second P4C @ 3.5ghz & r9800 to play games. ; )
