[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 622519, member: 59833"] Well, of course, ambient (room) temps can greatly affect CPU temps. But 55-60°C under load is still well below the maximum Tcase allowed for that CPU of [URL='http://ark.intel.com/products/88184/Intel-Core-i5-6500-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz']71°C[/URL]. So no worries there. Still, I don't like fan noise either so I understand your desire to suppress it. But note besides providing adequate air flowing through the case, noise suppression is also a case function. You also want to ensure it really is the CPU fan that is making the noise. PSU and graphics card fans often make a lot of noise since they typically are mounted on a case panel and not deep in the center of the case. What do you currently have for case cooling? It might be easier and cheaper to just add a nice, quiet case fan. Fractal Design makes some excellent and very quiet [URL='https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=fractal%20design%20fan&Submit=ENE']case fans[/URL] at very reasonable prices. And speaking of Fractal Design, they are now my favorite cases in part, because they are extremely quiet. [/QUOTE]
