small enough to put inside the memory card bay-- but will require wiring inline with the main fan.

I am starting to think the fan is defective, as it would just always run at full bore, different from fan #2.

I bought a good replacement fan pulled from a like-new HP ZV5000 so next week I'll know if the fan noise is due to bad design, or broken fan...

stay tuned---

still would like software to adjust fan speed--

my GUESS is that you could reduce fan speed 30-70% and not increase heat that much-- especially if the fan runs all the time.

It seems much smarter to run a fan at a constant slower speed, than stupid programming that runs a fan on and off and on and off and on and off
