I recently moved all my old hardware after an upgrade into a 2nd machine to use as a server, the plan was for it to be nice and quiet and it is... well apart form the ATI 9800. The little fan on the heat sink is whizzing away at full pelt and cos its only a tiny fan it makes a really annoying high pitched whirring noise that really grates on you after a few minutes.

Anyway since its just ascting as a server and not doing anything graphically intense, I assume it will be ok to unplug the fan and just rely on the heatsink? Yes? I thought i'd better see what others thought first though :)
 
OK.

Cool. I'll take a ganders. Oh... and sorry this is in the CPU section, should have been GFX, I was sure I put it in there :confused:
