Anyone have a quiet fan?

[RehabMan]

I'm curious, did you ever get around to installing the above mentioned resistor? I wonder if I should do this while upgrading my cpu?
(to prevent any obnoxious fan side effects)

Not a resistor, but a couple of diodes. See this post: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/99227-probook-silent-fan-mod.html
