Overall noise level is slightly up but now constant rather then oscillating (I think it must have been turning over very slowly before.)
I haven't taken the cover off to check but I *think* there are two fans in there. A case fan which is the one the BIOS settings (Auto, silent etc) refer to which is actually quite quiet and a chipset fan which I think was the one which caused me issues.)
Anyway felt they should get credit for the quick response.
Care to share the updated Bios
I'm thinking about adding a new fan to the machine and seeing if that makes it any quieter I have a feeling that it won't make much difference but might as well give it a shot. I can hardly hear mine at the moment but I'm getting a bit obsessed with completely drowning out the sound although
It seems the case fan is the only one making any real noise if you stop the case fan the machine is silent.
