Not a clue how you did that, it was probably the non-CPU parts that are loud. The bloody chipset and FBDIMMs get too hot
But even during the summer now (and I don't turn on the A/C because I prefer it that way), I don't need any extra cooling for my dual 35W Xeon system than what TT Kandalf provides (there was no time and no reasonable way to get a better chassis at the time here
