Anyway to make my PWM fans spin even slower?

[Goose]

I currently 5 Akasa Apache's in my PC connected to a Phobya PWM hub and at their lowest setting on my motherboard they spin at about 1000rpm and at idle i still find this to be a little louder than my OCD noise freak meter can take.

I was wondering if there was a way to make them spin even slower at idle without having to buy a fan controller. I like to have my case looking nice sleek which basically means nothing in the optical drive bays.

Thanks

As far as i can tell the motherboard I have only allows for them to be under pwm control or fully on

It would be idea to have a setup like yours, 600rpm at idle and full speed under load.

You could try dropping their supply voltage below 12v but still use their pwm function. My Apache fan was not very good at voltage control and stalled at around 8v anyway so I replaces with a decent fan.

Would that be done with a resistor cable of some sort? Which fans did you replace them with out of curiosity?
