Is there someway I can turn off the power supply fan? Maybe in bios or by a
third party software? Also is there anyway I can lower the consummation of the CPU electricity (Voltage) -- --------------------------------------- http://www.fast-rewind.com --------------------------------------- |

No, you need to install a better power supply
unit that is engineered and designed to be quiet.

Why do you want to willfully damage your computer?

The process of converting 220/110 volts to the 12/5/3.3 volts required for the computer internals generates heat which then has to be dissipated.. this task is done by the power supply fan.. CPUs, hard drives and video cards also generate heat, and the power supply fan helps to draw it out via the power supply housing.. From the above, you must surely be able to work out that turning off the power supply fan while the computer is powered up would be the equivalent of electronic suicide.. If you are looking to save on electricity usage, consider low energy light bulbs, but do not use them where they will be subject to constant on-off operation.. they do not reach full brightness immediately, and they require more initial power to start up.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "Nicoliani T" <Nicoliani@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:98FBFBB0-821A-4A55-AF94-11CF9C6614B1@microsoft.com... > Is there someway I can turn off the power supply fan?
