hi guys.
im using my old pc (same as in sig) as a htpc/casual gaming machine but the fan on my HSF is so noisy i want to replace it with a near silent one.

im looking at something like Noctua NF-S12A ULN with 43.7 airflow cfm and 8.6dBA
this pc is not overclocked at present and doesnt really need to be for what im doing with it, i just want it quieter than it is at present! the fan is supposed to lower the dBA and RPM as necessary but never seems to, maybe due to the crappy motherboard.
am i risking overheating using this fan? thoughts?
