going at full wak and the side fan is going at 3,500rpm ! it's so noisy
here. any suggestions? ohh yeah and my comp specs are this

abit 4core vista premuim ready mobo
intel core 2 duo e6660 (i think) (2 x 1.86 no overclock)
ati x1650 pro 512mb pci-e graphics
1TB HDD sata
22" widescreen lcd (don't know if it makes any difference i woulnt imagine
it would but hey)

I'm prepared to stand corrected, but I wouldn't have thought that the OS
would get involved in controlling the fans...?
That must surely be a hardware/bios issue??
I suppose it IS possible that Vista is making higher demands on the system,
and so raising the temperature/setting the fans off more(??). Have you tried
turning off the high demand graphical functions (if they are currently on)
temporarily and seeing if that makes any difference??

Have you looked in the bios settings to see if there is a 'quiet' mode or
something?

Yeah. I have never had an Abit motherboard, but Asus have AI-Quiet 2 in the
BIOS to control fan speeds. There must be something like that in the Abit
BIOS or some Abit software. Otherwise the OP could try something like
Speedfan or something more simple.

Speedfan may or may or not work on that mobo but it's worth a try.

Usually these features work at a BIOS level, perhaps with supporting
software tools, eg. ASUS QFan and the ASUS AI Tools. I expect Abit have
something similar.

Look for a couple of things on the abit support site - an updated BIOS that
supports Vista, and/or updated chipset drivers that support Vista.
