Hey its me again (LOL)...seems like its one problem after another
Well the problem is my computer is being too noisy, im presuming its the cpu.
I know its not overheating, the temp is at 37C (p4 2.93ghz processor)
the fan speed is 3629RPM
My computer doesnt have any dust in atm, since i put in a new cooler master 500w psu, and a gigabyte ga-73pvm-s2h mobo.
heres a screenshot from speedfan.
The sig is back!

Coolermaster PSU = earmuff time, they're very noisy units. The CPU fan seems a little overzealous as well though, you may want to use speedfan to drop the speed back.

oh, and also how can i use speedfan to drop the fan speed? the % thingy doesnt seem to do much :-( lol
wellim pretty happy that my system is back
but i really need a cpu soon, my 2.93ghz just isnt that good anymore! im thinking of a dual core 2, within a £85 budget! any good deals at aria or microdirect right now?

you need to verify where exactly the noise is comming from first. My advice don't rule out your video card fan. I've had 2 incident's of noisy fan's and both where video card fan's.
The tiny video card fans can be extremely noisy when they start going bad. I don't even bother replacing them. I just disconnect the power plug on them and install a 80mm case fan to blow directly on the video card heatsink. Works everytime.
I always suspected it was my cpu fan or power supply that was making all the noise, because the noise was so loud "it had to be a large fan" but it always was the tiny insignificant video card fan giving me problems.

Large fans are inherently quieter than small ones, but they make lower pitched noises because they don't have to spin so fast so consequently they're less annoying.

Oh just as extra info, I opened the case while the computer was running and stopped the Cpu Fan for a few secs and realised it was making some considerable noise. Whereas i do agree that the psu was making some noise, i reckon its bearable if the cpu noise was reduced.

Of course, CPU fans can be prone to bearing failures as well which is dangerous as not only do they make a nasty noise but they can also massively drop in speed.

hmm heeehe! oh well i dont mind that its failing! kinda gives me a mini reason to buy a new a cpu
mine sucks - 2.93ghz p4
:-(
one query what big of a difference does a 1mb cache have rather than 2mb, and how does the e1280 clock on my ga-73?

You will have issue overclocking a CPU at all on that motherboard, If I remeber rightly it doesn't have an overclocking option so your CPU will have to stay at stock. A shame because E2000 series CPUs are mediocre stock, but outrageously fast when overclocked.
