    I think my fan is a little loud when I just surf the web...

    I'm running Windows 7 64bit, and I've installed all the drivers for Win7 64bit on Asus homepage. But I haven't installed all the Asus software. BIOS: 1704.

    My temps at ide: Core0/1: 34/38, GPU: 55, ACPI TZ00: 43, ST9500325AS: 35/35.

    I've checked the fan speed in BIOS, it's around 2800RPM.

    I've enabled the GPU Powermizer Switch. And can see that the GPU slows down in GPU-Z. And I've tried to underclock the GPU with Nvidia Performance, but with no difference in temp.
    And I've installed CPU Genie and set the 6x and 6.5x multiplier to 0.875v. And the rest to 1v.

    Is this normal fan speed?

    What else to do? Except buying a cooling pad?

    Have anyone tried to mount a separate fan on the GPU inside the cover? Are there any place to get power to the fan?

    Is it possible to replace the original fan with a more silent one?
